Abstract :
This paper presents a state of the art of the design of Six or Five Port circuits using MMIC technology. The advantages and drawbacks of these techniques are presented, and the sensitivity of these systems is calculated. The noise factor of a Five Port circuit using power diode detectors is around 36 dB. New structures using mixers may be an alternative to improve the sensitivity.
