Abstract :
An active Sub-harmonically Pumped (SHP) mixer using PsHEMT devices has been designed, built, and evaluated. Over 5 dB of conversion gain has been demonstrated at X-band. Test results, including conversion gain, noise figure, and IP3 of the active SHP mixer are compared with passive and semi-active SHP mixer configurations.<>
