Millimeter-wave, shot-noise limited, fixed-tuned mixer.
Abstract
In a companion paper (43.033.073), two computer-controlled measurement systems for testing millimeter-wave Schottky-barrier diode mixers between 90 and 350 GHz have been presented. In this paper, a typical application of the measurement system to the testing and evaluation of a practical W-band, cryogenic, fixed-tuned Schottky diode mixer is used to demonstrate the performance of the instruments.
