Abstract
In this paper a multi chip module (MCM) method for combining high frequency circuits with low frequency readout electronics is presented. The RF chip consists of a rectifying antenna (rectenna) and is manufactured by silicon mm-wave integrated circuit (SIMMWIC) technology. The rectenna signal is amplified by a CMOS preamplifier mounted in a hybrid construction. An amplification gain of 32 dB is measured thus maximum sensitivity including preamplification is 1600 V/Wcm-2 at 94.6 GHz.
