Abstract :
The performance of an 8 GHz LO-Echoing FET up-converter is presented. A conversion gain of 1.3 dB from 70 MHz IF to the up-converted output and a conversion loss of 4.7 dB from 8.350 GHz LO to the up-converted output are obtained. The maximum up-converted output power is 16.7 dBm. The up-converter can be used as the output of a microwave transmitter. It can replace the diode up-converter and the first two stages in the FET high-power amplifier
