  • Abstract
    An up-converter using dual-gate GaAs FET was operated at X-band output frequencies with an IF input at 700 MHz. The FET up-converter offers advantages of conversion gain (up to 15 dB), low noise figure (3.2 dB) and built-in port-to-port isolation. The power output saturated at +9 dBm, and the third-order IM product at the 1 dB compression point was -22 dBC.
