摘要
self-heterodyne diode mixer is proposed using thin film process based on alumina substrate at 60 GHz in conjunction with grounded coplanar waveguide, transition. To down-convert both very low RF and LO signals received simultaneously from transmitter for self-heterodyne communication scheme, the proposed mixer adapted with the knee voltage bias condition of 0.65 [V] improves its mixing efficiency, significantly. The designed SHM shows the conversion loss of -15.13 dB at RF and LO frequencies of 60.565 and 59.01 GHz., respectively with both input powers of -15.3 dBm and it also can defines IMD free input dynamic range as -30 dBm. The measured return losses satisfies with more than 20 dB and 9 for RF/LO input and IF output port, respectively. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
