It is operated by an all-solid-state Local Oscillator comprising of a cascade of 4 planar doublers following an MMIC based W-band power amplifier. The threshold available pump power is estimated to be 1 /spl mu/W. %K waveguide NbN HEB mixers %R 10.1109/MWSYM.2003.1212480 %U https://doi.org/10.1109/MWSYM.2003.1212480 %P 751-754
