Design of a full V‐band fundamental mixer with an ultra‐wide IF from 0.01 to 22 GHz

Abstract Design of a low cost Schottky diode based single‐balanced mixer (SBM) in full V‐band with an ultra‐wide intermediate frequency (IF) bandwidth is presented here. By loading multiple quarter‐wavelength short‐ended stubs at both radio frequency (RF) and local oscillator (LO) frequency on the m...
