Abstract :
This paper describes the use of integrated circuit technology to achieve enhanced performance in low noise X- and Ka-band. Particular examples of low noise MIC mixer receivers using high-quality GaAs Schottky diodes include a 9.0 -10.0 GHz image-recovery downconverter exhibiting 4.2-5.5 dB SSB noise figure and a 36.5-38.5 GHz radiometric downconverter exhibiting 6 dB DSB noise figure.
