In this paper a FET mixer is designed realized by small-signal S-parameter using microwave CAD, LINMIC + at Ku-band. The mixer has conversion gain 9.88dB at 14GHz RF, 1GHz IF, and + 1dBm LO imput. The maximum conversion gain is obtained 11.71dB at 1.1...
In this paper a FET mixer is designed realized by small-signal S-parameter using microwave CAD, LINMIC + at Ku-band. The mixer has conversion gain 9.88dB at 14GHz RF, 1GHz IF, and + 1dBm LO imput. The maximum conversion gain is obtained 11.71dB at 1.1GHz. The result shows that the FET mixer does not need pre-and/or IF amplifier. The mixer maintains the desired conversion gain with low LO power level. The conversion gain of the mixer is higher than the available gain of a amplifier, which is experimentally verified.
