Compact W band receiver module on hybrid liquid crystal polymer board
Low cost, high resolution and wideband millimeter wave receiver systems attain more and more attention for commercial and military applications. We present a broadband receiver module operating in the W band for radar and imaging applications. Its compact packaging compared to traditional split block technique is realized using printed circuit board technology and a high density polyethylene lens. We present receiver architectures based on our in house 100 nm mHEMT technology with different performances regarding the bandwidth including low noise amplifier, IQ mixer and frequency multiplier. Measurements of the conversion gain have been performed demonstrating a bandwidth of up to 30 GHz which corresponds to a relative bandwidth of almost 33
