Abstract :
Gallium arsenide Schottky barrier beam lead mixer diodes with a noise figure of 5.5 dB at X-band and a high burnout resistance are described. Limits of the performances are related to noise temperature ratio and these are discussed in connection with fabrication process and low-frequency noise.
