What does the term monolithic refer to in this application?
The caption says the circuit is a upconverter mixer. This is highly questionable given the actual text on the chip itself. The RF and LO signals both are fed to gate sides (from the left, also labeled "in") in the driver amplifiers feeding the baluns and the actual mixer on the right hand side. Assuming the conventional naming for IF and RF, this indicates it is a downconverter mixer.
Article could have a history section. eg when were GaAs MMICs introduced, and when Si MMIC, and when GaN MMIC ? - Rod57 ( talk) 10:39, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
