Wireless communication refers to the new technology of replacing phone lines by transmitting voice and data through the air at lower microwave frequencies (2.0 - 4.0 GHz). This frequency band has been allocated by the FCC for Personal Communication Systems (PCS), Wireless Local Area Networks (LAN) and wireless television. This Project entails testing and running Northrop's 2.4 GHz MMIC Transceiver for Wireless Communications. One aspect of the project entails design and fabrication of a microwave circuit board to test the Transceiver chip. It also entails design, fabrication and testing of passive components such as microstrip bandpass filters, power dividers, and lumped element impedance matching networks. The designs of the circuits as well as results of test and measurement will be presented.
