ABSTRACT:
A monolithic integrated circuit for performing power dividing and power monitoring functions is disclosed. The monolithic integrated circuit includes a power dividing portion for dividing radio frequency (RF) signal power and a power monitoring portion for monitoring the RF signal power. In one example, the monolithic integrated circuit is a microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) for use in high-frequency applications within microwave and millimeter-wave frequency range.
