A compact transceiver for narrow bandwidth and high power Ka-band application

Abstract

Using the GaAs MMICs, other components and advanced package techniques, we realized a compact transceiver module with high power (about 35 dBm), receiver noise figure less than 4.5 dB and bandwidth 1% in Ka-band operating frequencies. This module consists of 15 MMICs and over 100 components, and demonstrates narrow bandwidth with high power in millimeter-wave transceiver module. This work has also laid a good foundation for the technology of combining the MMIC and other component for a versatile millimeter-wave transceiver module.
