Abstract
Schottky diodes have been used for the first time as harmonic mixers in the 0.1–1.0‐mm wavelength region. Beat notes between the 33rd harmonic of a 74‐GHz V‐band klystron and 118.8‐μ laser radiation are observed directly without the need of narrow‐band synchronous detection. The demonstrated performance of these room‐temperature diodes as wide‐band or heterodyne detectors of submillimeter radiation and their rugged construction make them superior to current point contact devices.Keywords
