Abstract

A quasi-optical Schottky receiver based on an integrated planar antenna-mixer structure has been developed and tested at 335 GHz. The receiver antenna is based on the quasi-integrated horn antenna with 23 dB directivity. At room temperature, the measured DSB antenna-mixer conversion loss and noise temperature at 335 GHz are 8.5 dB and 1750 K, respectively. This simple and tunerless design has a noise figure within 1 dB of the best tuned room temperature waveguide mixer using a similar planar GaAs Schottky diode.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
