Abstract

In order to reduce the manufacturing cost for future 60 GHz products, a high integration level is necessary. Recent results on mHEMT and pHEMT multifunctional receiver/transmitters realized at Chalmers University are reported. Multifunctional MMICs utilizing single ended, subharmonically pumped, balanced and single sideband mixers are reported. Recent system demonstrators include 60 GHz secure communication WLAN.
