Development of a Sideband Separation Receiver at 100 GHz

Year: 1993

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: We have built and tested a prototype SIS receiver operating at 100 GHz to \ntest the feasibility of sideband separation through quadrature mixing at millimeter \nand submillimeter wavelengths. We achieved over 40 dB of separation with no \ndegradation of the mixer noise temperature due to the sideband separation. Both \nthe sky signal and atmospheric noise are separated, greatly reducing the system \ntemperature for millimeter and submillimeter observations in which spectral lines \nare present in only one sideband.
