The invention relates to a method for regulating the power of millimetre waves for a V-band TR module. According to said method, the power output is detected and regulated at a constant level with a regulating electronics system, by means of a damping member. The invention provides that for transmission, for operation at a frequency in the 60 GHz range and higher, a first SPDT (single pole double throw) MMIC switch is used as a regulated damping member and a second SPDT MMIC switch which acts as a transmit-receive changeover switch is used as a power output detector. For reception, both SPDTs are used as switches. Overall, the power regulation for the entire TR module results in an increase of the module yield through compensation of chip leakage and temperature effects. The multiple use of the SPDT MMICs as switches, damping member and power detector saves costs.

Dans un procédé de régulation de puissance des ondes millimétriques dans le cas d'un module TR bande V, on détecte la puissance de sortie et on la règle à un niveau constant par une électronique de réglage à l'aide d'un atténuateur. Selon l'invention, en mode émission à une fréquence d'au moins 60 GHz, on utilise un premier interrupteur unipolaire à deux directions (SPDT) MMIC comme atténuateur réglable et un deuxième interrupteur SPDT MMIC servant de commutateur émission-réception comme détecteur de puissance de sortie. En mode réception, on utilise les deux interrupteurs SPDT comme commutateurs. Globalement, le réglage de puissance de tout le module TR permet d'augmenter le rendement du module par compensation de la dispersion de la puce et d'obtenir des effets de température. L'utilisation multiple des interrupteurs SPDT MMIC comme commutateurs, atténuateurs et détecteurs de puissance permet de réduire les coûts.
