Abstract
A multi chip module (MCM) method for combining high frequency circuits with low frequency readout electronics is investigated. The RF chip consists of a detector circuit with monolithically integrated zero bias Schottky barrier diodes and planar antenna structures on high resistivity silicon substrates. This rectifying antenna (rectenna) is manufactured by silicon monolithic millimeter wave integrated circuit (SIMMWIC) technology. The signal of the rectenna is amplified by a CMOS preamplifier mounted in a hybrid construction next to the rectenna. An amplification of 32 dB is measured. Maximum sensitivity of the detector circuit including preamplification is 1600 mV/mWcm2 at 94.6 GHz.
