Popis: For atmospheric research reliable low-noise receivers are necessary. In this paper we present a novel low-noise heterodyne receiver for 2.5 THz. A Schottky diode, the mixer key element, is embedded in a planar structure for optimized coupling to a low-noise broadband amplifier. The corner cube antenna can be tuned for optimal coupling to the local oscillator.
