Abstract

Design of pyramidal blackbody source in the desired frequency range of 60-90 GHz, using the CST Microwave studio is presented. Silicon Carbide (SiC) blackbody source is being developed for the radiometric calibration at Institute of Plasma Research. Parametric study of pyramidal blackbody source is accomplished by changing the various dimensions of the structure. The final design of the structure and its characteristic performance, deduced from the simulations, in the desired frequency band has been described.

Keywords

Blackbody, Calibration, CST Microwave Studio, Radiometer.
