This paper describes fin-line receiver components for the frequency ranges around 60 and 94 GHz. In detail, the design and performance of balanced mixers, p-i-n-diode attenuators, and p-i-n-diode double throw switches will be presented. Next, the integration of such components (partly together with fin-line Gunn oscillators) will be demonstrated, showing a number of advantages concerning size, weight, losses, cost, and ruggedness.
