✦ Synopsis


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. During the course of this contribution, the authors point out the developments in mixer design from lumped-element circuits to monolithic integrated circuits on the example of research activities in Duisburg and Kamp-Lintfort, Germany. The results of these scientific investigations, regarding both the theoretical and experimental aspects, show the feasibility of the proposed techniques.
