Abstract
Components for a W-band monolithic subharmoniously pumped receiver have been developed. A conversion loss of 8.8 dB has been achieved for a monolithic W-band subharmonically pumped mixer with a Q-band local oscillator (LO) drive of 10 dBm. A monolithic GaAs Gunn local oscillator with more than 20-mW output power at 46 GHz has been developed. It is noted that this work is the first step toward the integration of a complete W-band monolithic receiver on a single GaAs chip.<>
