Abstract :
This paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a millimeter-wave noise source for the 160-210 GHz frequency range. The noise source has been implemented in an E-split-block waveguide package and the internal circuitry was developed on a quartz substrate. The measured excess noise ratio at 200 GHz is 9.6 dB.
