A new type of Ka band (26 to 36 GHz) 180 degree phase switch (bi-phase modulator) monolithic microwave integrated circuit has been developed for the EC funded FARADAY radio astronomy project. This integral component forms part of a chip set for a very low noise switching radiometer operating at a temperature of approximately 15 K. To maximize the sensitivity of the radiometer lattice-matched indium phosphide HEMT technology has been used: all of the active components of the radiometer, with the exception of the detectors, have been manufactured on a single wafer process. Design principles are described, together with a comparison of modeled and measured results. The results show an average insertion loss of 3.5 dB, return loss of better than 10 dB and an average phase difference close to 170????10?? the 26-36 GHz band.
