The design and test of an E-band (81-86 GHz) down-converter mixer for satellite communications is given in this contribution. The selected topology is the sub-harmonically pumped mixer. The MMIC is designed with VMS's 100 nm GaAs pHEMT technology. Characterization of the mixer shows 13-16 dB conversion loss, 40 dB rejection to LO pump and other intermodulation products at IF port, and simulated IIP3 of +14 dBm.

Abstract
The design and test of an E-band (81-86 GHz) down-converter mixer for satellite communications is given in this contribution. The selected topology is the sub-harmonically pumped mixer. The MMIC is designed with VMS's 100 nm GaAs pHEMT technology. Characterization of the mixer shows 13-16 dB conversion loss, 40 dB rejection to LO pump and other intermodulation products at IF port, and simulated IIP3 of +14 dBm.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
