摘要
This paper describes a high-gain, single-sideband, upconverting transmitter module developed for point-to-point telecommunications in the 83-87-GHz hand. Four gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), which can readily be fabricated using standard commercial processes, are used in the multichip module. The transmitter exhibits a typical lower-sideband up-conversion gain of 20 dB and a typical output power of +5 dBm (at -1-dB gain compression) between 83 and 87 GHz. Suppression of the higher sideband is greater than -15 dB. The two-tone, 3(rd)-order intercept point is typically +15 dBm for a tone spacing of 100 MHz at the lower sideband IF input.
