An uncooled Schottky barrier diode mixer is described which exhibits a single sideband conversion loss of 6-7 dB and a single sideband input noise temperature of 600-700 K. The type of construction, which is particularly suitable for development purposes, allows the easy changing of various parts or dimensions such as the diode, low-pass filter, waveguide height, and IF matching transformer. Cooling the mixer to 20 K reduces the noise temperature by a factor of about 2, while the conversion loss remains approximately constant. This mixer will be used in a radiometer for radio astronomical observations.
