Abstract
A new GaAs integrated circuit mixer is presented that services wireless communication requirements. Low cost, small size and good electrical performance are achieved through the use of a one balun-one FET scheme, a mature MESFET process and plastic packaging. Measured data is shown for 900 MHz and 1800 MHz parts. This mixer offers the best performance-to-price ratio in the market place.<>
