Abstract
The design of a 215 GHz subharmonic waveguide mixer utilizing an antiparall el pair of quasivertical Schottky diodes is presented. The impedance matchi ng is provided by series and parallel waveguide tuners. A single sideband n oise temperature of 3500 K and conversion loss of 9.2 dB have been measured (antenna loss included).
