A 30 GHz monolithic single-balanced mixer with integrated dipole receiving element
Abstract
A 30 GHz monolithic low noise balanced mixer has been developed using an integrated 'bow tie' antenna. The antenna has been characterized both as a free space receiving element and as a transition from waveguide to balanced line. Mott diodes developed for the circuit have a zero bias junction capacitance of 0.025 pF and series resistance of 10 ohms. A conversion loss of 6 dB was measured at 30 GHz with a 1 GHz IF.
