Abstract :
A microstrip monolithic GaAs mixer has been designed and fabricated for operation in the millimetre-wave band. A 6.5 dB minimum conversion loss has be achieved in narrowband operation (fLO = 93.7GHz and fIF= 130MHz); this figure includes the effect of losses and mismatch in the circuit and test fixture.
