Abstract

Results of noise and impedance optimization of a W-band receiver-module are given. A wideband compact receiver-module for MM wave passive imaging array has been developed on the basis of InP MMIC LNA and a highly sensitive impedance matched low-barrier detector diode. Achieved bandwidth is 85-100 GHz, the gain factor is 30 dB that was sufficient to provide 15 mK/Hz1 temperature sensitivity of the receiver-module. Tests results of the receiver-module are presented.
