  • Abstract
    In this letter, we describe a broad-band 7.5-46 GHz rat-race ring singly balanced mixer. The rat-race ring consists of an ideal crossover phase inverter and is designed to have a Chebyshev response of order two. The mixer diodes are virtually grounded via a quarter-wavelength low-impedance FCPW (finite ground plane CPW) open circuit stubs. The mixer shows more than 5 times RF bandwidth and dc to 5 GHz IF bandwidth. The circuit is realized using FCPW on 25 mil Al2O3 substrate
