Frequency conversion studies conducted upon polycrystalline ferrites and yttrium iron garnets have established that microwave mixing displays a linear dependence upon input powers. Sum and difference signal powers generated in ferrites and garnets were examined as a function of rf power and sample shape. Conversion efficiencies of −14 db for sum signal output and −36 db for difference signal output were achieved for magnesium manganese ferrite at X band.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
