Abstract

In this paper we will present first measurement
results for a fixed tuned 600 GHz heterodyne mixer in split-block
waveguide technology. The presented mixer design is based on
a single planar GaAs Schottky diode which is flip-chip mounted
on a quartz substrate. The split-block structure includes an
octagonal horn antenna, a waveguide to microstrip transition
and a coaxial IF output. In addition to the GaAs diode the
quartz substrate includes the required low-pass filter structures
which are also used for the DC bias of the diode. The mixer
was manufactured by micromechanical milling in brass. With
this mixer we were able to measure voltage responsivities up to
1690 V/W and single sideband conversion losses down to 9.4 dB
at 600 GHz.
