Abstract
A planar single-ended GaAs Schottky diode mixer has been designed, bui lt, and tested at 119 GHz. The mixer front end includes also a wavegui de filter for image rejection, and a temperature compensated ring filt er. Measurements at room temperature showed a conversion loss of 7 dB and a noise temperature of 900 K (SSB). At 100 K the measured noise te mperature of the mixer was 500 K (SSB).
