Abstract :
Waveguides and varactors are evaluated with their application in integrated SiGe mm-wave circuits in mind. Coplanar waveguides and hyperabrupt varactors show adequate performance when carefully designed. Waveguides with ~2 dB/cm RF loss at 10 GHz and varactors with a tuning-range Qmin product of 0.7 THz are demonstrated.
