Abstract :
The experimental characterisation of a 38 GHz micromachined GaAs receiver is presented. The structure monolithically integrates a double-folded slot antenna and a Schottky diode on the same GaAs thin membrane. The measurements demonstrate that this approach has the potential for innovative circuit architecture development.
