Abstract :
In this paper the design and performance of an integrated circuit for broadband 5-bit monolithic microwave (MMIC) digital attenuators are presented. Extensive electromagnetic simulation and compact circuit design techniques have been applied in order to yield MMIC with 2.1times1.6times0.125 mm3 dimensions. MESFET have been used as key elements. Performance of the digital attenuator measured at 6-12 GHz demonstrates 8-11 dB insertion loss
