  • Abstract
    We describe the fabrication and measurement of a glass reinforced beam lead Schottky diode with an airbridge for use at millimetre wavelengths. We report an extremely low single sideband (SSB) noise figure for these diodes of 7.9 dB at 94 GHz, including a 1.5 dH IF (30 MHz) contribution.
