W-band integrated monopulse radar transceiver

Millimeter wavelength components remain difficult and expensive to fabricate. The use of these components for integrated transceivers further complicates designs and results in higher costs. This paper describes an integrated 94 GHz monopulse transceiver using microstrip and guide transmission lines. This integration uses four dielectric rod antennas which feed four insular lines configured to provide the monopulse comparator circuit for the transceiver front-end.<<ETX>>
