Abstract :
A broadband MMIC multiplier chain has been designed and fabricated using a 0.13 μm pHEMT process. The chipset consists of two broadband multipliers and two power amplifiers. Excellent performance has been obtained from the MMICs, which are targeted at emerging applications in W-band requiring millimetre-wave power over a broad frequency range.
