Abstract

Silicon Schottky diodes show the advantages of low 1/f noise combined with low cost. We use these diodes in hybrid flip-chip configuration to build a novel I-Q mixer at 76.5 GHz for automotive applications. The realized mixer shows promising features such as 10 dB conversion loss @ 100 kHz IF, LO-to-RF isolation better than 25 dB, and average IF noise power of -80 dBm.
