Abstract :
A novel statistical approach making it possible to define design rules for low-conversion-loss cold FET mixers is proposed. These design rules, experimentally verified, lead to low and predictable conversion losses. Applying these rules, an experimental mixer gives 4-dB intrinsic conversion losses at 7.5-GHz LO (local oscillator) frequency with 10.5-dBm power and 10-MHz IF (intermediate frequency).
