Abstract :
This paper reports on fully monolithic millimeter-wave Schottky barrier diode down-converters with an IF amplifier using heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs). The measured conversion gain and the isolation are 8.0 dB and 25 dB in the W-band design, and 7.1 dB and 29 dB in the V-band design, respectively
