Abstract

This chapter deals with integrated mmW power detectors. First, motivations for their use, figures of merit, and common implementations are reviewed. Then, a design example of an integrated mmW wideband detector is presented and validated with measurement results. It is integrated at the output of an E-band power amplifier and it can be used for built-in integrated self-test (BIST) purposes or as a first step towards an integrated self-healing system.
