Abstract

This paper presents a GaAs MESMET self oscillating mixer for high efficiency L-band frequency conversion with small chip area consumption. Main circuit topology is consist of cascoded two FET with resonating part. The circuit is designed as unstably nonlinear for limited frequency band. FET with drain shorted to source is used for frequency tuning element. Linear conversion gain of -18.83 ㏈ is achieved with 9mA and 4V consumption. Input 1㏈ compression point is more than 11㏈m. The chip area is 1.4$\times$1.4 mm.
