This research deals with the creation of devices for use in an integrated millimeter-wave receiver in the frequency range 30-100 GHz. Such a receiver is potentially useful for short-range atmospheric communications where there are large unassigned frequency bands. Interest in this area is increasing because advances in gallium arsenide microfabrication have made it possible to build millimeter wave devices in integrated form. The major problems to address involve circuit design and circuit measurements. While the problems of circuit design are relatively straightforward, the problems of circuit measurement are much more difficult. Although there is instrumentation available, none has proven to be adequate for research in this frequency range, particularly at the higher end. Instead of coupling into the waveguide as is usually done, the measurements are performed in an integrated circuit fashion right on the chip itself or by coupling to other planar circuits.

本研究涉及在频率范围为30-100 GHz的集成毫米波接收器中使用的设备的创建。这种接收机对于存在大量未分配频带的短程大气通信可能有用。对这一领域的兴趣正在增加，因为砷化镓微加工的进步使得以集成形式构建毫米波器件成为可能。要解决的主要问题包括电路设计和电路测量。虽然电路设计问题相对简单，但电路测量问题要困难得多。虽然有可用的仪器，但没有一个被证明是足够的研究在这个频率范围内，特别是在高端。测量不是像通常那样耦合到波导中，而是在芯片本身或通过耦合到其他平面电路上以集成电路的方式进行。
