Abstract
A self‐heterodyne diode mixer is proposed using thin film process based on alumina substrate at 60 GHz in conjunction with grounded coplanar waveguide transition. To down‐convert both very low RF and LO signals received simultaneously from transmitter for self‐heterodyne communication scheme, the proposed mixer adapted with the knee voltage bias condition of 0.65 [V] improves its mixing efficiency significantly. The designed SHM shows the conversion loss of −15.13 dB at RF and LO frequencies of 60.565 and 59.01 GHz, respectively, with both input powers of −15 dBm and it also can defines IMD free input dynamic range as −30 dBm. The measured return losses satisfies with more than 20 dB and 9 dB for RF/LO input and IF output port, respectively. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
