Abstract :
This paper describes the realization of a W band planar monolithic multiplier using finite ground coplanar lines. These lines provide near TEM low loss propagation to W band and enhance multiplier performance. The developed MMIC multipliers have demonstrated 93 mW output power, 26% efficiency and output bandwidth from 70 to 80 GHz.
