Abstract
A low-noise, hybrid-integrated, millimeter-wave receiver that consists of a local oscillator and a downconverter on a silica substrate is described in this paper. The source for the local oscillator is a Gunn diode, and the mixer element is a beam-leaded Schottky barrier diode. A novel filter circuit is used to combine the local oscillator and the signal with low insertion loss in the signal path. The single-sideband noise figure of the receiver at 30 GHz is 5.5 dB, including 0.8-dB contribution of the if amplifier, and the rms FM frequency variation resulting from the local oscillator is 168 Hz/√KHz.
