Abstract
A method of operating a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) in a radar transmitter includes: sending a radio frequency (RF) signal to a power amplifier of the radar transmitter, where the power amplifier is controlled by a termination control signal, where when the termination control signal is de-asserted, the power amplifier is configured to pass the RF signal through the power amplifier for transmission by an RF antenna, where when the termination control signal is asserted, the power amplifier is configured to terminate the RF signal in the power amplifier; transmitting the RF signal by de-asserting the termination control signal; and after de-asserting the termination control signal, disabling transmission of the RF signal by: reducing a power of the RF signal; and asserting the termination control signal.
