Abstract :
A new broad-band mixer capable of operating over two full adjacent waveguide bands (18 to 26.5 GHz and 26.5 to 40 GHz) is described. Within the octave bandwidth from 20 to 40 GHz, the maximum conversion loss is 6.5 dB with a corresponding average DSB noise figure of 5.7 dB. A theoretical analysis is given to treat quantitatively the performance of the octave bandwidth waveguide mixer.
