A broadband free-space millimeter-wave vector transmission measurement system

We report both broadband monolithic transmitter and receiver IC's for MM-wave electromagnetic measurements. The IC's use a nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) and a sampling circuit as a picosecond pulse generator and detector. The pulses are radiated and received by planar monolithic bow-t...

Zusammenfassung:	We report both broadband monolithic transmitter and receiver IC's for MM-wave electromagnetic measurements. The IC's use a nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) and a sampling circuit as a picosecond pulse generator and detector. The pulses are radiated and received by planar monolithic bow-tie antennas, collimated with silicon substrate lenses and off-axis parabolic reflectors. Through Fourier transformation of the received pulse, accurate 30-250 GHz free space gain-frequency and phase-frequency measurements are demonstrated. Systems design considerations are discussed, and a variety of MM-wave broadband transmission measurements are demonstrated.< >
