Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a solid-state terahertz device applied in the technical field of terahertz, more specifically, to a wide-band low-frequency conversion loss terahertz mixer. Background technique
[0002] With the development of terahertz technology, terahertz solid-state devices have shown unprecedented application potential in radio astronomy, nondestructive testing, object imaging, security inspection, high-speed communication and other fields. For a superheterodyne receiver in the terahertz frequency band, the mixer is an essential key component of the receiving front end, which can realize the function of spectrum shifting. However, due to the lack of mature terahertz low-noise amplifier chips, the first stage of the terahertz receiving front end is usually a terahertz mixer. Therefore, the specifications of the mixer greatly affect the overall performance of the receiving system. For example, the size of the frequency conversion loss of t...
