Abstract

We present here the latest Schottky based technology developments for the next generation of microwave, millimeter and sub-millimeter wave radiometer instruments in the framework of the joint ESA/EUMETSAT space mission - MetOp-SG. It includes the prototyping of state-of-the-art Schottky diode based mixers and multipliers and their reliability assessment for this type of long life operational space missions.
