The radio frequency (RF) signal passes through the waveguide-to-suspended microstrip probe transition from the standard waveguide WR4 to the suspended microstrip circuit, and the local oscillator (LO) signal passes through from the high-reduced waveguide WR10 to the circuit. The circuit is designed using two MA4E2038 Schotty diodes on the quartz-based substrate with dielectric 3.78, thickness of 0.127mm. When the LO frequency is fixed at 105GHz, the simulated conversion loss is less than 8.2dB from 215GHz to 225GHz.","PeriodicalId":421574,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technology (ICMMT)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116980122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
