Abstract
A monolithic integrated coplanar millimetre wave mixer is realized in SIMMWIC(silicon millimetre wave integrated circuit) technology. Barrier height reduced p-type Schottky diodes are used as mixing elements. The mixer is realized as a single balanced mixer with branchline coupler in coplanar design. At 77 GHz a conversion loss of 7.8 dB is measured with an RF power of ¿10 dBm, an LO power of 6 dBm and an IF of 1 GHz.
