Title
W-band radiometer system with switching front-end for multi-load calibration
Abstract
A W-band Dicke type radiometer with an MMIC single pole-five-throw (SP5T) switch front-end and a Schottky diode detector is presented. The radiometer is intended to test active W-band loads as well as to generate passive millimeter wave imagery. By applying active or conventional hot and cold loads to the spare input ports of the SP5T, the radiometer can switch between the antenna, the external reference loads, and a monolithic integrated 50 Ω load. Hence, accurate radiometric multi-load calibration can be performed as well as standard Dicke operation.
