<title>Receiver Technology For The Millimeter And Submillimeter Wave Regions</title>

Abstract

Increased interest in the millimeter and submillimeter wavelength regions during the past decade has stimulated the development of sensitive receivers for a wide range of applications.The extension of waveguide mixers into the submillimeter region and the development of various types of quasi -optical receivers are reviewed.The development of novel GaAs integrated circuit mixers for the millimeter and submillimeter regions is discussed.Receiver performance is reviewed and the potential impact of monolithic receiver technology on systems applications is considered.
