Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the recent development in the design and implementation of distributed Microwave Integrated Circuits (MICs). MIC technology has experienced a tremendous growth during the last years. It has matured to the extend that multifunction circuits including transmitters and receivers can be incorporated in one module. We introduce the basics of distributed MIC which include the basics of distributed active and passive Circuits (distributed microstrip amplifiers, oscillators, couplers, and diode mixers) .The paper demonstrates two different SOP MIC transceiver modules in addition with microstrip patch antenna. The designed MIC modules have many applications especially in Wireless Communications, Wireless Networking, Digital Communications, Radar Systems Deep Space Communications, Medical Imaging and treatment, and Radio Spectrometry.
