Abstract :
An integrated planar antenna-mixer structure for use at millimeterwave frequencies is described. A simple but accurate theory of the slot-ring antenna is applied to several experimental devices. Mixer conversion loss of about 6.5 dB was obtained from an X-band model. Measured radiation patterns of structures designed for 65 GHz agree reasonably well with theory.
