Abstract :
To achieve low conversion-loss and high image-rejection performance in the wide band for up and down conversion, an SSB subharmonically pumped mixer using an in-phase RF divider/combiner is proposed. The SSB mixer MMIC is integrated in a small area of 1.8/spl times/1.3 mm/sup 2/ and shows good performance in the range 21.6 to 30.8 GHz.
