A new MMIC compatible sensor that measures RF power transmitted over a 50 Ω coplanar waveguide is presented. The sensor is based on the thermoelectric effect in AlGaAs and GaAs/AlGaAs micromachining technology is used for realisation. A sensitivity of 1.1 V/W has been achieved with a reflection coefficient of 0.1 at 10 GHz, by a first realisation.
