Abstract

A highly integrated platform for micro- and mm-wave frequency applications is introduced. The platform utilizes heterogeneous process modules with integrated passive and tunable devices together with silicon and GaAs MMIC technology to achieve outstanding flexibility. The different process modules are accounted for and their feasibility is proven through a number of application demonstrators from 23 GHz telecom backhauling and 77 GHz automotive radar indicating excellent performance.
