Abstract :
The design and performance of a fin-line integrated receiver front-end for Ka-band (26-40 GHz) frequencies is described. The module consists of a balanced mixer including an IF filter, a gunn oscillator and a PIN-switch which can be used as STC for radar application or as noise references (in a closed state) for a low-cost radiometer. A description of the components and the performance of the unit is given.
