摘要: A novel subharmonically pumped high electron mobility transistor (HEMT)-based resistive mixer is described. The based on a paralleled HEMT-configuration where the LO (local oscillator) applied to gates with same amplitude but opposite phase. prototype was constructed at X-band. conversion loss of 6.5 dB measured an LO-power level 12 dB/sub m/. LO-IF (intermediate frequency) and LO-RF isolation obtained intrinsically due LO-cancellation. HEMT-devices were fabricated characterized, nonlinear device model developed used in harmonic balance simulations. >
