Imran Mehdi,Steven M. Marazita,D.A. Humphrey,T. H. Lee,Robert J. Dengler,J.E. Oswald,A. Pease,S.C. Martin,William L. Bishop,Thomas W. Crowe,Peter H. Siegel +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a planar GaAs Schottky diode mixer for space-borne radiometers was developed and characterized for the broad intermediate frequency (IF) band 240-GHz subharmonically pumped planar Schotty diode mixer.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An all solid-state 640 GHz subharmonic mixer
Imran Mehdi,Peter H. Siegel,D.A. Humphrey,T. H. Lee,Robert J. Dengler,J.E. Oswald,A. Pease,Robert Lin,Heribert Eisele,R. Zimmermann,Neal R. Erickson +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first all solid-state two-diode subharmonically pumped (SHP) mixer operating at 640 GHz was reported, and the required local oscillator (LO) power was less than 4 mW at 320 GHz for optimum performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Planar diode solid-state receiver for 557 GHz with state-of-the-art performance
J.E. Oswald,T. Koch,Imran Mehdi,A. Pease,Robert J. Dengler,T. H. Lee,D.A. Humphrey,Moshe Kim,Peter H. Siegel,Margaret A. Frerking,Neal R. Erickson +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the design and performance of a subharmonically pumped (SHP) 557-GHz mixer driven by a solid-state local oscillator (LO) are reported.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
600 GHz planar-Schottky-diode subharmonic waveguide mixers
Imran Mehdi,T. H. Lee,D.A. Humphrey,S. C. Martin,Robert J. Dengler,J.E. Oswald,A. Pease,R. P. Smith,Peter H. Siegel +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first planar two-diode subharmonic mixer operating at 600 GHz was reported, and the measured mixer noise temperature of 4200 K DSB was only a factor of 2 worse than the best single diode (whisker-contacted or planar) fundamental mixers.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A 640 GHz planar-diode fundamental mixer/receiver
Peter H. Siegel,Imran Mehdi,Robert J. Dengler,T. H. Lee,D.A. Humphrey,A. Pease,R. Zimmermann,P. Zimmermann +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the design and performance of a 640 GHz solid-state receiver using a fundamental planar-Schottky-diode mixer, InP Gunn diode oscillator, whisker-contacted Schottky varactor diode sextupler and folded-Fabry-Perot diplexer are reported.
