Abstract

Integration of planar antenna structures with oscillators and rectifiers, respectively, was performed an low loss, high resistivity silicon substrates. IMPATT diodes and special Schottky diodes operated in Mott mode were monolithically integrated in the planar waveguide circuit for mm-wave operation in the W-band (silicon monolithic mmwave integrated circuit-SIMMWIC ). Small chip sizes below 30mm² could be obtained to meet requirement for medical endoscopes.
