Abstract
A low-power, broadband (24-to 44-GHz), versatile vector modulator monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) has been developed using TriQuint’s highreliability 0.15-µm gallium arsenide (GaAs) pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) process. This small, low-mass, low-power, cost-effective MMIC simplifies communication system architectures, reduces parts count, increases reliability, and enables extremely high data rates to enable advanced transponder designs. The design of the vector modulator is presented along with the measured performance, including the development of a hermetic 24 to 44 GHz (Ka-band) MMIC package.
