  • Abstract
    A Q-band DAHI (Diverse Accessible Heterogeneous Integration) multi-technology VCO-amplifier chain is presented. The DAHI integration process is composed of InP HBT, GaN HEMT and 65nm CMOS. The InP VCO demonstrated 2GHz of tuning range at 35GHz while the GaN amplifier provides 15dB gain.
