High humidity and temperature test (known as 85/85 tests) were performed on various III-V devices and structures to determine environmental effects in non-hermetically packaged GaAs membrane mixer diodes.

We describe progress in the development of a calibration target for use in the EOS-MLS 2.5 THz radiometer on NASA's CHEM-1 spacecraft.
The OH radical is an important player in known ozone depletion cycles; however, due to its location in the atmosphere, it must be studied from either a balloon or spaceborne platform.
A novel GaAs monolithic membrane-diode (MOMED) structure has been developed and implemented as a 2.5 THz Schottky diode mixer.
Planar submillimeter circuits are slowly replacing whisker-contacted devices at frequencies above 100 GHz, but in many cases the size constraints brought on by the short wavelengths associated with high frequency operation have not been adequeately addressed. Also, reproducibility becomes more important as we make the transition from tunable, whisker-based circuits to more monolithic designs. We are continuing to develop new circuites with more reproducible characteristics.
