  • Abstract
    A Ku-band front end has been developed which integrates a low-loss wide-band monolithic mixer, a two-stage hybrid IF amplifier, and a lumped-element Gunn local oscillator (LO). Small size (0.5 cubic in), high performance, and potentially low production cost have been demonstrated through the application of highly compatible IC construction techniques.
