Popis: The development of advanced millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuits for application in active and passive high-resolution imaging systems operating beyond 200 GHz is presented. A wideband 210 GHz Low Noise Amplifier has been successfully realized using one of our three metamorphic high electron mobility transistor (mHEMT) technologies in combination with grounded coplanar circuit topology (GCPW). Additionally, a 200 GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) MMIC demonstrating good output power over a wide bandwidth was fabricated, using our 100 nm mHEMT technology. Finally, a high resolution 220 GHz radiometer was realized and shows very promising performance. (© 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
