Abstract
A low current GaAs MMIC amplifier/mixer was designed and characterized for portable communication applications in the 900 MHz band. This single chip integrated front-end IC (90 mil /spl times/ 110 mil) achieved - 118 dBM sensitivity at the cellular band. The extremely low power dissipation, high level of integration, and very good RF performance of this monolithic IC make it an ideal candidate for portable communication applications.<>Keywords
