Low noise microwave and millimeter wave integrated circuit mixers
Abstract
This paper describes the use of integrated circuit technology to achieve enhanced performance in low noise X- and Ka-band mixers. Particular examples of low noise MIC mixer receivers using high-quality GaAs Schottky diodes include a 9.0 - 10.0 GHz image-recovery downconverter exhibiting 4.2 - 5.5 dB SSB noise figure and a 36.5 - 38.5 GHz radiometric downconverter exhibiting 6 dB DSB noise figure.
