Abstract :
Emanating from S-parameter measurements on monolithically integrated IMPATT diodes in the Ka-band a completely integrated transmitter is designed and simulated. The resonator is built with coplanar waveguides. A planar slot antenna is used for the emission of the RF signal. To improve the performance of the antenna the silicon substrate has to be thinned to a thickness of 200 μm.
