  • Abstract
    This paper describes a doubly balanced monolithic ring mixer using a unique planar balun consisting of a Marchand section followed by a coupled-line structure. The latter provides additional even-mode rejection and a convenient point for IF extraction. The mixer achieves low conversion loss and high isolation over an 18-40 GHz RF/LO bandwidth and a dc-10 GHz IF bandwidth.
