Abstract :
In the following paper an X-band hybrid electro optical mixer for a photonic microwave receiver is described. The application of balanced hybrid mixer in phased array radar, communication system and ESM receivers will reduce overall loss and hence the cumulative noise figure of the system and thus enhance the spurious free dynamic range of the receiver
