Title: System architecture for a 65-95 GHz, mm-wave instrument for space based solar event 
monitoring observation  

Abstract:
This presentation is progress work for the Ph.D research study and it deals with comparing 
different system architectures for a compact, low cost mm-wave sun observation instrument. 
Single conversion and double conversion superheterodyne receivers are evaluated with regards 
to performances of commercially available components. State-of-the-art (SOTA) component 
parameters that were used are alternatives where commercially off-the-shelf (COTS) 
components are not available. thus based on SOTA parameters, components will be designed 
using IBM process. The system covers a frequency range of 65 to 95 GHz and it investigates 
new integration techniques on planar substrates.
