A 640 GHz Planar-Diode Fundamental Mixer/Receiver

The design and performance of a 640 GHz solid-state receiver using a fundamental planar-Schottky-diode mixer, InP Gunn diode oscillator, whisker-contacted Schottky-varactor-diode sextupler and folded-Fabry-Perot diplexer are reported.

Fixed-Tuned Submillimeter Waveguide Multipliers Using MMIC Technology

In preparation for the insturment ammouncement of opportunity for the Far Infrared and Submillimeter Space Telescope, and ESA/NASA space astrophysics observatory mission, local oscillator sources at high frequencies (1200 GHz) are being developed. As part of a multiplier chain beginning at ~100 GHz we are developing single and multiple diode waveguide circuits up to 640 GHz.
