Abstract :
A passive balun using spiral inductors and inter-digital capacitors has been developed for a 2.4 GHz balanced diode mixer on Al 2O3 substrates. Using this passive balun on the input port (RF port and LO port) of the mixer circuit and incorporating the Schottky diode, where the I-V model and small signal RF model have been established, a wideband single balanced diode mixer was designed, fabricated and measured
