  • Abstract
    Measurements on state-of-the-art 85 GHz mixers using GaAs Schottky-barrier diodes give high values of noise temperature ratio (~1.3) and loss temperature (~500°K) despite low conversion loss (~5dB SSB) and input noise temperature (~600°K SSB). The source of this noise has not yet been identified.
