Abstract :
A low VSWR sideband separating receiver topology employing subharmonic Schottky diode mixers has been implemented at 340 GHz as an integrated module housing mixers, commercial LNA´s and waveguide hybrids. Image rejection levels of around 20 dB and a receiver SSB noise of 9000 K are measured.
