Abstract: | Recent progress in realizing low noise Schottky diode mixers in the submillimetre region is reviewed. Schottky diodes built on epitaxial material must be carefully optimized through use of E-beam lithography to obtain lowest conversion loss in a particular frequency region. Satisfactory diplexing schemes exist and a number of promising mixer configurations have been developed. The principal problem is a lack of suitable tunable sources of local oscillator power. |
