Abstract

A microwave self-oscillating mixer (SOM) functioning ax a frequency convenor with conversion gains up to 17dB at 5 GHz is reported. The SOM consists of an f_r=10 GHz silicon bipolar monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) and a dielectric resonator (DR). It down-converts signals up to 9 GHz with conversion gain. The highest measured frequency of oscillation for a microstrip packaged device was 10.7 GHz.
