Abstract
We report a monolithic heterodyne receiver that uses the AlGaN/GaN nonlinear transmission line as a local oscillator and a mixer simultaneously. This heterodyne receiver has a high RF bandwidth from 80 to 360 GHz and a high intermediate frequency bandwidth of 18 GHz. These results indicate that this nonlinear transmission line receiver has promising potential in broadband spectrum analysis.
