Abstract :
A number of investigators have examined the problem of amplitude linearity involving diode mixers. This paper will define the ratio of signal to drive level at which the phase of the mixer output is constant, independent of this ratio. Measurements of two independent techniques were used to define deviations from phase linearity on the order of 0.05°.
