Abstract
In this paper, we designed the double conversion down mixer by using Half-LO frequency in 2.3 GHz band. The IF frequency is obtained by supplying two LO frequencies to HEMT in both gate type and resistive type. The proposed mixer uses Half-LO frequency the same way as conventional sub-harmonic mixers. However the proposed one uses fundamental component of Half-LO frequency in first stage instead of using second harmonic components of Half-LO frequency, and the IF frequency is obtained by resistive type mixer in second stage, thereby the proposed mixer can improve linearity in comparison with conventional active mixer. We can verify that the proposed mixer has an conversion loss of 5dBm and IIP3 of 16.25dBm by using 10 dBm Power
