Design and performance of a novel Direct Up-Conversion 14,WC will be described. The circuit accepts differential or single-ended signals from a DAC, analog differential a sampling pulse from the DAC clock, and creates a time domain waveform that is a pulse doublet train amplitude modulated by. the DAC input. The appropriate spectral line is then obtained via bandpass filtering This approach minimizes cost, volume, power, and weight by eliminating the requirement for a Local Oscillator. The MMIC is implemented in a fully selective 0.15 um double recess PHEMT process.
