  • Abstract
    A straightforward analytical expression of the conversion gain of a MESFET drain mixer is proposed, based on the assumption that the transconductance and drain resistance are the main nonlinearities, and on a few additional simplifications. The results are in good agreement with the harmonic balance simulations and experimental values.<>
