Abstract
A compact wideband balun using a common-gate/common-source approach has been developed. Using this active balun on the LO port,a passive interdigital microstrip balun on the RF port, and a passive lumped element L-C balun on the IF port, a wideband balanced mixer was designed, fabricated and tested. This paper describes the mixer circuit design based on a new passive FET model. Test results of the active balun and the mixer including conversion loss, noise figure, and third order intercept point are presented for RF frequencies from 4 to 18 GHz.<>Keywords
