Abstract
In this paper, a millimeter-wave detector using zero-bias schottky diode is designed and fabricated at W-band. It consists of LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) and detector module to improve sensitivity. LNA case with a highly stop-band characteristic is designed to prevent the oscillation by LNA MMIC chip. Diode detector of planar structure is fabricated for the easy connection with LNA module and zero bias Schottky diode is utilized. In practice, the fabricated diode detector have shown the detection voltage of 20~500 mV to the RF input power of -45~-20 dBm. The proposed W-band detector can be applicable to the passive millimeter image system.
