Abstract
A complete receiver for astronomical observations in the 0.9 mm region is described. The mixer uses a 2mu Schottky diode in fundamental mode waveguide. The local oscillator from a BWO is injected into the mixer with a low-loss quasi-optical diplexer. Overall system sensitivity is about 4000-5000 K SSB,over the range of 318-348 GHz.
