            Abstract : 
The paper presents the authors´ contributions towards the development of millimeter wave circuits based on GaAs micromachining. The manufacturing and characterization of different type of millimeter wave GaAs membrane supported filter structures is presented. A fully monolithically integrated millimeter wave receiver module, having the antenna as well as the detecting Schottky diode on the same GaAs membrane is also presented.
