    Abstract

    The three-dimensional (3-D) MMIC technology significantly improves the operating frequency of Si MMICs and offers highly integrated masterslice MMICs. This paper introduces a newly developed X-band Si bipolar transistor transceiver MMIC which integrates 13 function blocks on a 2.3×2.3 mm chip; it offers 20 dB receiver gain and 13 dB transmitter gain. Its design uses a novel function-block-library concept based on the 3-D masterslice MMIC technology.
