Abstract
In recent years, there is an increased interest in the
use of telecommunications systems operating at V-band
frequencies for both military and civil applications. The
high atmospheric absorption of microwave signals at 60
GHz is well suited for applications, such as secure
communications and wireless local area networks WLAN,
where propagation over significant distances is not
desirable. Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits
(MMICs) are a key enabling technology and are well suited
for realizing cost effective mm-wave circuit functions.
In addition, the micromachining technology has been
proposed for the fabrication of millimetre wave circuits
on very thin dielectric membranes, mostly for silicon
substrates [1, 2]. (8 refs.)
