Abstract
A coplanar double balanced image rejection mixer with an input 1 dB compression level of +10 dBm is described which uses two MESFET ring quads with only +10 dBm LO (local oscillator) power. It is considerably more efficient in terms of LO power when compared to Schottky diodes. Eigen-circuits are used to model the balun performance.<>
