Abstract
A mixer solution that ensures good linearity and almost constant conversion loss over a given frequency band is presented. The mixer solution allows for relatively large variations in the LO input power with negligible performance degradation. A good match at all mixer ports is provided, hence the mixer allows for easy integration with surrounding radio modules. All the components used in the unit are SMT pick and place type, low cost devices.
