Noise Measurements in Self-Oscillating Mixers

Abstract

Noise measurements on the self-oscillating mixer at 60 GHz have been made in both GaAs and InP Gnn devices. These devices were fabricated using an image guide design as the transmission media. The double side-band noise figure and conversion characteristics were measured and it is shown that the noise performance of these devices make them attractive for application where low cost, simplicity in circuitry, and small physical size are important factors.
