摘要
A new whiskerless millimeter-wave mixer diode has performance comparable to that of the highest quality whisker-contacted diodes. The diode uses an etched surface channel and planar air bridge to obtain greatly reduced parasitic capacitance. At 94 GHz the room-temperature diode exhibited a conversion loss of 5.3 +/- 0.5 dB and an equivalent input noise temperature of 518 +/- 50 K SSB.
