In this article, we fabricated a 94 GHz monolithic down‐converter that consists of a two‐stage amplifier and a single‐balanced mixer using the 0.1‐μm metamorphic high electron mobility transistor (MHEMT) technology. The down‐converter of a 3.3 × 2.5 mm 2 chip size shows a low conversion loss of ∼2.8 dB at 94 GHz and excellent LO‐to‐RF isolation above 35 dB in a frequency of 90–98 GHz. Also, we fabricated the millimeter‐wave (MMW) module that exhibits a conversion loss of 7–8.5 dB from 93.66 to 94.365 GHz. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
