Abstract
The authors review the basic operation of Schottky mixer elements, and consider the factors that limit the high-frequency performance of these devices. The design process used to achieve the best heterodyne receiver performance is discussed. Recent results with ultra-small Schottky anodes are presented, and conclusions are drawn about the future of Schottky diodes at terahertz frequencies.<>
