  • Abstract
    A monolithic structure is presented for the tuning of MMIC´s. With this tuner, either process deviations can be compensated or circuit parameters can be altered to meet different requirements. Measured results of a realized tuner agree well with the simulated model. Key design parameters are listed and a theoretical application for a narrow band amplifier at 27 GHz is simulated.<>
