Abstract :
This paper proposes a novel architecture and MMICs for an integrated front end of a 2-32 GHz spectrum analyzer. The architecture achieves miniaturization by eliminating the YIG tracking filter. The MMICs achieve ultra-wideband performances as well as chip-size reduction by utilizing novel FET cells for the basic circuit functions.<>
