Abstract :
In this communication a double Volterra series approach is applied to the analysis of FET resistive mixers. Starting with a general description of double Volterra series, recursion formulas and closed-form expressions for nonlinear transfer functions of a FET resistive mixer are obtained from a generalized nonlinear current method for two-input port systems. Conversion loss is evaluated following this approach and results show a good correspondence with published data.
