Paper Abstract
We have developed amplifier based receivers using Indium Phosphide
high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) monolithic microwave
integrated circuit (MMIC) technology. These compact receivers are
designed with atmospheric temperature and humidity sounding
requirements in mind, operating at 100-125 GHz around the 118 GHz
oxygen line, and at 160-185GHz near the 183 GHz water line, with
average noise temperatures of 1600 and 1200K respectively. They are
intended for applications where small volume and power consumption are critical. We will present laboratory data on the noise temperature of these receivers operated at room temperature and preliminary field data.
