| description | This paper presents a compact hybrid G-band (170–260 GHz) heterodyne receiver module incorporating both Millimeter Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) and a Schottky diode-based circuit. An on-chip sextupler and a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), along with a diode-based Sub-Harmonic Mixer (SHM), are integrated into the demonstrated singular module, which is carefully designed and arranged with the co-simulations in electromagnetic and thermal domain. Through this methodology, a terahertz receiver module is fabricated with a volume of only 27 × 20 × 20 mm<sup>3</sup>. The measured results indicate that the double-sideband conversion gain of the receiver is 10.5–17.5 dB from 195 GHz to 230 GHz, while the noise temperature is 1009–1158 K. As a result, this terahertz receiver provides recorded miniaturized hardware applicable for terahertz Integration of Sensing and Communication (ISAC) systems. |
