  • In this paper, direct conversion receiver was designed to even harmonic anti-paralled diode pair ring mixer. Using a second harmonic component of LO instead of LO signal and RF signal are mixed by SHP(Sub Harmonic Pumped) mixer with anti-parallel diode pair. Canceling the harmonics of LO signal in ring mixer, SHP mixer using anti-parallel diode pair could mostly reduce the radiation of LO signal through a input port the most, good isolation characteristic, and low spurious characteristic by LO signal was shown over broad band. The produced SHP mixer showed LO/IF, RF/IF and LO/RF isolation was 24.6dB,36.2dB and 22.5dB respectively. And conversion loss was measured 15.6dB, IF output -35.6dBm with -20dBm RF input and 5.5dBm LO signal. 1dB compression point of If signal, in respect to RF signal, was found at the 0dbm RF signal.

  • In this paper, sub-harmonic pumped(SHP) mixer using anti-parallel diode pair(APDP) is designed for 5 GHz band wireless communication system. Conventional mixers mix LO with RF, and obtain IF signal from the difference between LO and RF. As the frequency increase, LO signal requires higher LO power, better phase noise characteristics, more stable La. However, using APDP, the SHP mixer mixes the 2nd harmonics of LO signal. Therefore, the SHP mixer has an advantage that the LO signal frequency required for IF signal is reduced at half value of LO fundamental frequency. When LO power is 3 dBm, the conversion loss of manufactured SHP mixer is 12.83 dB. The isolation of LO/IF, 2LO/IF, RF/1F and LO/RF is 39.17 dB, 58 dB, 34 dB, and 67.9 dB. respectively. For this case, IP3 at input is 8 dBm.

  • In this paper, the implementations of a $0.1{\mu}m$ gallium arsenide (GaAs) pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor process for a low noise amplifier (LNA), a subharmonically pumped (SHP) mixer, and a single-chip receiver for 70/80 GHz point-to-point communications are presented. To obtain high-gain performance and good flatness for a 15 GHz (71 GHz to 86 GHz) wideband LNA, a five-stage input/output port transmission line matching method is used. To decrease the package loss and cost, 2nd and 4th SHP mixers were designed. From the measured results, the five-stage LNA shows a gain of 23 dB and a noise figure of 4.5 dB. The 2nd and 4th SHP mixers show conversion losses of 12 dB and 17 dB and input P1dB of -1.5 dBm to 1.5 dBm. Finally, a single-chip receiver based on the 4th SHP mixer shows a gain of 6 dB, a noise figure of 6 dB, and an input P1dB of -21 dBm.

  • In this paper, Sub harmonic mixer using anti-parallel diode pair is designed for 5.8 GHz Wireless LAN. Conventional mixers mix LO with RF and obtain IF signal from the difference between LO and RF. As frequency increase, LO signal is required increasing LO power, better phase noise, stable LO. But, using APDP, the SHP mixer mix the harmonics of LO signal. Therefore, Sub harmonic mixer is advantage that necessary LO signal frequency was used to operate the 1/2. When LO power is 3 dBm, the conversion loss of manufactured SHP mixer is 12.83 dB. The isolation of LO/IF, 2LO/IF, RF/IF and LO/RF is 39.17 dB, 58 dB, 34 dB, 67.9 dB. And IIP3 is 8 dBm.

  • A D-band subharmonically-pumped resistive mixer has been designed, processed, and experimentally tested. The circuit is based on a $180^{\circ}$ power divider structure consisting of a Lange coupler followed by a ${\lambda}$/4 transmission line (at local oscillator (LO) frequency). This monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) has been realized in coplanar waveguide technology by using an InAlAs/InGaAs-based metamorphic high electron mobility transistor process with 100-nm gate length. The MMIC achieves a measured conversion loss between 12.5 dB and 16 dB in the radio frequency bandwidth from 120 GHz to 150 GHz with 4-dBm LO drive and an intermediate frequency of 100 MHz. The input 1-dB compression point and IIP3 were simulated to be 2 dBm and 13 dBm, respectively.
