  • Abstract
    The classical small-signal frequency-domain theory of resistive diode mixers fails to provide correct results in Iow-loss cases where reactive filtering is used to suppress undesired responses.Previously published theoretical resuIts, which describe the low-loss limits, are erroneous and misleading. Single-diode mixers are inherently lossy devices, even with ideal diodes.
