Abstract
This paper describes the application of the well-known Gilbert-cell mixer technique at MM-wave frequencies. A pseudomorphic HEMT monolithic design is described, in conjunction with a bondwire compensation technique, to produce low conversion loss (<4 dB) with low LO power at frequencies beyond 40 GHz.
