ABSTRACT
In the telecommunications sector, the increasing number of communication applications necessitates the use of radio frequency (RF) and consequently, RFICs (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits). However, it has been observed that there is a scarcity of studies on filter design in the W-band. Therefore, the aim of this project is to design a filter operating between 70 GHz and 110 GHz using Ga-As Phemt technology. Center frequency of the filter is 80 GHz. Among the main objectives of the design are minimizing losses at high frequencies and maximizing accuracy using Ga-As technology. What makes special this design is using a transistor for the first time in literature. Usage of transistor makes the design of the layout more smaller than a normal filter design in these frequency ranges. The initial stage of the design involves creating a filter in accordance with the specified design requirements using tools like AWR Microwave Office and validating this design with the targeted simulation values. Inner capacitors in the transistor is the key of this filtering process
