Abstract

Wide RF bandwidth millimeter-wave antenna arrays are under development for plasma imaging applications. These quasi-optically coupled pumped arrays employ dual dipole antennas and wide IF bandwidth (1-10 GHz) baluns fabricated on low loss printed circuit boards, with biased surface mount Schottky diodes arranged in fundamental and subharmonic mixer form.
