Development of a 340-GHz Sub-Harmonic Image Rejection Mixer Using Planar Schottky Diodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
: We report on the design, fabrication and test of an integrated 320-360 GHz Sub-Harmonic Image Rejection Mixer (SHIRM) using planar Schottky diodes. The integrated circuit uses two separate anti-parallel pairs of diodes mounted onto a single quartz-based circuit. Measurement results give SSB receiver noise temperatures of 3300 K at 340 GHz, with an image rejection from 7.6 dB to 23 dB over the entire band.

We present here the first measurement results of a 1200 GHz heterodyne receiver front-end prototype based on this Schottky GaAs membrane technology. The 1200 GHz subharmonic mixer design, previously reported, uses a suspended MMIC GaAs membrane that feature a balanced pair of planar Schottky diodes and an on-chip MIM capacitor for DC forward biasing capabilities. The possibility to bias the sub...

Abstract: This paper presents the design of terahertz 2× and 4× sub-harmonic down-mixers using Schottky Barrier Diodes fabricated in standard 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The 340 GHz sub-harmonic mixers (SHMs) are designed based on anti-parallel-diode-pairs (APDPs). With the 2nd and 4th harmonic, local oscillator (LO) frequencies of 170 GHz and 85 GHz are used to pump the two 340 GHz SHMs. W...
