Paper Abstract
Recent results from the Heterodyne Instrument for Far-Infrared (HIFI) on the Herschel Space Telescope have confirmed
the usefulness of high resolution spectroscopic data for a better understanding of our Universe. This paper will explore
the current status of tunable local oscillator sources beyond HIFI and provide demonstration of how power combining of
GaAs Schottky diodes can be used to increase both power and upper operating frequency for heterodyne receivers.
Availability of power levels greater than 1 watt in the W-band now makes it possible to design a 1900 GHz source with
more than 100 microwatts of expected output power.
