  • Abstract
    A theoretical analysis of the gain properties of m.e.s.f.e.t. drain mixers is presented. The m.e.s.f.e.t. model includes the nonlinearity of both the transconductance and the drain resistance. For a special case, a simple analytical expression for the gain is given. Numerical results for a typical example are briefly presented as an illustration.
