✦ Synopsis

Monolithic microwa¨e mixers, operating at 2᎐3 GHz, ha¨e been de¨eloped, based on the lumped balanced circuit approach. By using two passi¨e lumped balun circuits on the RF and LO ports, respecti¨ely, a wideband balanced mixer with good isolation can be realized. The con¨ersion loss, under the IF at 200 MHz condition, was 12᎐14 dB at a LO power of 11 dBm. In addition, this mixer demonstrated an input IP of 18.9 dBm at 2.4 GHz. The simulated results, 3 based on the large-signal models, presented a fair agreement with the measured results, which re¨eals the importance of de¨ice modeling.

This article deals with the mixer design for UHF-, microwave-and millimeterwave applications. Thereby, several aspects such as the chosen technology (lumped elements, hybrid-or monolithic integration) and the applied transmission line (printed circuits, strip-, slot-or coplanar line) are considered.
