Title: Resonant tunnelling diode oscillator as an alternative LO for SIS receiver applications
Author(s): Blundell, R.; Papa, D. C.; Brown, E. R.; Parker, C. D.
Abstract: The resonant tunnelling diode (RTD) oscillator has been demonstrated for the first time as a local oscillator (LO) in a heterodyne receiver. Noise measurements made on a sensitive 200 GHz superconductor-insulator-superconductor receiver using both a multiplied Gunn diode and an RTD oscillator as the LO revealed no difference in receiver noise as a function of oscillator type.
