Abstract :
More than 22 dB of carrier and spurious suppression over 6 to 18 GHz has been achieved for a translator employing MMIC phase shifter. Trade-off of maximum allowed amplitude and phase errors versus number of bits are analyzed. For spurious levels <-29.8 dBc, the amplitude and phase errors must be >
