[分享] A NOVEL PLANAR DOUBLE-BALANCED 6-18 GHZ MMIC MIXER*

     A novel planar monolithic double-balanced been demonstrated which exhibits low conversion nuxer has loss, good compression and isolation characteristics, and low spurious responses. This has been achieved for LO and RF signals in the 6 to 18GHz frequency range with an IF bandwidth from DC to 2.5GHz. It is fabricated using standard 0.5 um MESFET technology on ion-implanted low-noise,low-current GaAs material. Occupying a  size of only 0.050x 0.100 X O.O06 in. (1.27X2.54 X 0.15 mm),It is the smallest known planar double-balanced MMIC mixer to accomplish this level of performance.
