A Compact Integrated 675–693 GHz Polarimeter

Abstract

The design of a single-sideband 675–693 GHz integrated polarimeter is presented here. The compact module, measuring 1.5” x 1.5” x 0.75” includes the OMT, RF LNAs, image-reject filters, mixers, IF LNAs, and LO active multiplier chain. Total power dissipation is expected to be approximately 6W. Receiver noise temperature is expected to be approximately 6000K SSB. The polarimeter has been machined and assembled with measurements to be presented at the conference.
