Abstract
A monolithic microwave integrated circuit is formed by positioning a distributed, transmission-line network over a microwave-device structure. The ground plane of the transmission-line network adjoins an interconnect system of the microwave-device structure and signal lines of the transmission-line network are adapted to communicate with the microwave-device structure through orifices of the ground plane. The invention facilitates the use of low-cost silicon-based transistors in monolithic microwave integrated circuits.
