Abstract :
The analysis of the single diode quad ring mixer incorporating broadside coupled suspended microstrip baluns and a 4-wire balanced line is presented. Design trade-offs and guidelines are presented. Practical results of multi octave, highly rugged, high performance up/down frequency converters for airborne applications are presented.
