Abstract :
A novel integrated low noise amplifier and image-rejection distributed mixer has been demonstrated. The 10 to 22 GHz wideband configuration requires no filtering yet delivers 2.3 dB of NF and 15 dB conversion gain. The LNA/IRM have been integrated onto a single GaAs MMIC chip and then packaged into a low cost 5times5mm surface mount package
