Abstract :
A sub-harmonic self-oscillating mixer (S-SOM) integrated with an inset-fed microstrip patch antenna is developed for receiver front-end applications. The circuit is designed as a sub-harmonic mixer in order to facilitate scaling to millimeter wave frequencies. A prototype design at C-Band was measured to have isotropic conversion loss of 10.25 dB for the second harmonic mixing product.
