Abstract
An e-band transceiver includes a transmitter circuit and a receiver circuit. The transmitter circuit includes a surface mounted technology (SMT) module on which is mounted a silicon-germanium (SiGe) bipolar plus CMOS (BiCMOS) converter, a gallium arsenide (GaAs) pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistor (pHEMT) output amplifier coupled to the SiGe BiCMOS converter, and a microstrip/waveguide interface coupled to the GaAs pHEMT output amplifier. The receiver circuit of the e-band transceiver includes a receiver-side SMT module on which is mounted a receiver-side SiGe BiCMOS converter, a GaAs pHEMT low noise amplifier coupled to the receiver-side SiGe BiCMOS converter, and a receiver-side microstrip/waveguide interface coupled to the receiver-side GaAs pHEMT low noise amplifier.
