Abstract :
The first silicon millimetre-wave integrated circuit (SIMMWIC) has been successfully fabricated. This circuit is a monolithic SPST switch with a 3 dB bandwidth of 20% and a minimum isolation of 21.6 dB across the band (centre frequency is 36.75 GHz). This monolithic circuit is a low-cost reproducible building block for all millimetre-wave control applications.
