  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the realization of a packaged 10.6 micron heterodyne receiver for field operational use, which combines sensitivity near 10-19watt/Hz with an instantaneous IF bandwidth from 10 MHz to 1.2 GHz. These characteristics are essential for its intended application in space communication experiments where extremes in range and doppler frequency shift are encountered.
