Abstract
A self-tuned millimeter wave transceiver module includes a microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) having at least one amplifier. A controller is operatively connected to the MMIC for sensing amplifier operating conditions and tuning the at least one amplifier to an optimum operating condition. The controller includes a surface mounted microcontroller chip operatively connected to the MMIC.
Claims22
A self-tuned millimeter wave transceiver module comprising:
- a microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) having a plurality of amplifiers;
- and
- a controller comprising a microprocessor operatively connected to said MMIC for sensing amplifier operating conditions and tuning the plurality of amplifiers to an optimum operating condition and further comprising a digital potentiometer operatively connected to each amplifier wherein gain from each amplifier can be maintained constant as module temperature changes.
A self-tuned millimeter wave transceiver module comprising:
- a microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) having a plurality of amplifiers, each having a respective source, drain and gate;
- a controller comprising a microprocessor operatively connected to said MMIC and each of said amplifiers, said controller including a memory having stored values of optimum operating conditions for an amplifier, wherein said controller is operative for sensing operating conditions and tuning each amplifier to an optimized operating condition based on the stored values and further comprising a digital potentiometer operatively connected to each amplifier wherein gain from each amplifier can be maintained constant as module temperature changes.
