Abstract
Using scaled model measurements at 2.5–12 GHz the embedding network of a 3 mm Schottky diode mixer has been developed. The noise performance of a cryogenic millimeter wave receiver was simulated by computer applying the developed equivalent circuit and diode parameters. The effects of impedance match at the fundamental frequency as well as at harmonic frequencies were studied. Also the effect of diode I-V-curve steepness was studied. The calculated results were compared with the experimental noise performance.
