W-band, microstrip integrated circuit transceiver
Abstract
The development, design and performance of W-band microstrip Gunn voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), power splitters, upconverters, IMPATT oscillators, circulators, IMPATT amplifiers and mixers and their integration into an all-microstrip short-pulse transceiver are described. Results of this investigation verify that microstrip integrated circuit (MIC) technology at W band is a viable approach toward achieving a compact, lightweight transceiver design in a planar construction. Such a design also is easily adaptable to emerging mm-wave monolithic techniques.
