  • Abstract
    Planar Schottky diodes have been the workhorse of room temperature mixers and LO power generation for the past two decades. Continuous progress in semiconductor processing, EM software tools and rpm machining has contributed to push the performance of the technology into the THz regime. This paper highlights the current status of the planar Schottky technology for radiometric applications in the submillimeter wave range.
