Abstract
This paper presents a novel method to test the conversion loss of fully reciprocal millimeter-wave mixers without measuring the absolute signal power at the radio-frequency port. The authors utilize the reciprocal feature of the mixer and obtain conversion loss based on relative power measured by a network analyzer.
