Small size Ka-band monolithic fourth-harmonic image rejection mixer
Abstract
A 30–40-GHz monolithic fourth-harmonic image rejection mixer is designed. The mixer employs a fourth-harmonic mixer with a reduced-size 0°/180° Marchand Balun and two resistive field-effect transistor mixer cells. The chip size is only 1.9 × 1.4 mm2, which is equal to or even smaller than that of the reported Ka-band monolithic subharmonic image rejection mixer. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
