a 38-48-GHz miniature sub-harmonically pumped mixer has been developed using GaAs 0.15-m pHEMT technology. An anti-parallel diodes pair is used for frequency conversion with a low LO input power. Quasilumped matching topology is employed to minimize the chip size and cost. The mixer is fabricated in chip size 0.85 0.85 mm 2 , and exhibit 12-15-dB up-conversion loss and 11-16-dB down-conversion loss with 10 dBm LO power.
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.
