Abstract :
Reliable low-noise millimeter-wave mixers have been designed and built for the TIROS satellite microwave sounder radiometers. This mixer design features a balanced microstrip circuit using packaged diodes and fixed-tuned backshorts. System noise figures of less than 5 dB (DSB) were achieved in the 50-58 GHz frequency range.
