Abstract

This paper presents the design of a 60 GHz fully monolithic integrated millimeter wave reflectometer (MIMWR). Active devices and passive planar structures are associated to realize a complete reflectometer on a single chip. The chip, that includes a six-port network, detectors and a voltage control oscillator (VCO), is conceived by means of an InP-based technology from the OMMIC foundry. This system associated to a calibration technique that encompasses a linearization method of the detectors allows measurements of complex reflection coefficients
