Abstract :
The authors report on the design, fabrication, and performance of several monolithic integrated circuits intended for use in a W-band (75 to 110 GHz) channelized monolithic receiver. The integrated circuits consist of a four-channel monolithic multiplexer, an ion-implanted W-band monolithic balanced mixer, a broadband low-noise intermediate-frequency IF amplifier, and a monolithic Gunn local oscillator. The integration of these circuits into a wideband monolithic receiver front-end using a four-channel downconverter chip and two dual-channel local oscillator chips is also discussed.<>
