Abstract :
Expressions are given for heterodyne noise equivalent power, conversion gain, and frequency response in terms of diode parameters, local oscillator power, and IF amplifier noise factor. Experimental results are reported on heterodyne detection at 10.6 µm in a reverse-biased HgCdTe photodiode.
