A millimeter-wave diode-MMIC chipset for local oscillator generation in the ALMA telescope

Abstract

A set of MMIC frequency multipliers and balanced mixers have been designed for the local oscillator system of the Atacama large millimeter array (ALMA). These millimeter-wave elements form a critical link in the active multiplier chains between the relatively low frequency microwave oscillators and the very high frequency submillimeter-wave, cooled multipliers of the LO subsystem. A complete chipset for four frequency bands is described, along with preliminary results on prototypes for two additional bands.
