Abstract :
A new element, allowing the mixing of signals in the microwave frequency range is described. Excitation of magnetostatic waves (MSW) in the non-stationary medium has been used to modulate the carrier harmonic signal. The proper choice of the working point allows the higher harmonic products of the output frequency spectrum to be suppressed.
