“…Many previous transceiver MMICs have focused on the lower communication bands below 5 GHz [1], [2] and [3]. At higher frequencies a multi-chip module approach has been used, [4], [5]. Integrated transceivers MMIC have been presented [6], [7] and [8], for X-band and K-band applications.…”

-This paper describes a J-band (15 GHz) transceiver MMIC with image rejection that has been designed for RADAR T/R module applications. The MMIC consists of a switched attenuator, an LNA, a Transmit/Receive switch, an image rejection mixer and a local oscillator buffer amplifier. The size of the MMIC is 6.48 mm by 4.47 mm. In receive mode the MMIC has a conversion gain in excess of 10 dB with less than 1 dB of ripple and noise figure less than 4 dB across a 10 GHz to 16.5 GHz band. The Input P1dB is -13 dBm. In transmit mode the conversion gain is -12 dB with an input P1dB of +15 dBm. The Transceiver MMIC was fabricated using the GMMT, 0.25 µ m, H40 pHEMT process. This is believed to be the first integrated transceiver MMIC designed specifically for this frequency band.
