A millimeterwave subharmonically pumped resistive mixer based on a heterostructure field effect transistor technology

Paper in proceeding, 1992

A subharmonically pumped resistive mixer (SPRM) working at millimeter waves based on a heterostructure FET (HFET) technology is described. Nonlinear simulations of the mixer were performed and a special dual HFET chip was developed and fabricated for the demonstration of this mixer. Mixer circuits were fabricated and operational characteristics at 40-45 GHz were investigated.
