Design of 300 ghz combined doubler/subharmonic mixer based on schottky diodes with integrated mmic based local oscillator

In this paper the design and experimental characterization of a combined doublersubharmonic mixer based on Schottky diodes which uses a 75 GHz MMIC based local oscillator is presented. This solution integrates in the same substrate the doubler and the mixer, which share the same metallic packaging w...
