Abstract :
A compact 60 GHz MCM receiver has been demonstrated by integrating millimetre-wave substrate-integrated waveguides and GaAs MMICs for the first time. The module includes a waveguide antenna and filter, MMIC LNA and mixer, and lumped elements for IF filtering embedded into the multilayer photo-imageable thick-film substrate. Cavities for MMIC attachment are photo-imaged as part of the standard process.
