RF Design Tips, Tricks & Tutorials

The Design of E-band MMIC Amplifiers, which addressed the fact that the worldwide availability of a large amount of spectrum at 71 to 76 GHz and 81 to 86 GHz (E-band) for high data-rate wireless links has led to substantial interest. The design of electronic equipment at such high frequencies is challenging. Devlin’s presentation addressed the design and implementation of E-band MMIC amplifiers. He considered process selection, design challenges and practical approaches and presented the measured and modelled performance of a single-stage E-band gain block.
