  • Abstract
    The performance of Schottky barrier gate field-effect transistors (FET´s) as single-ended microwave mixers at 3 GHz is described. An increase in dynamic range of approximately 10 dB over conventional diode mixers is reported although the noise figures of FET miters at present are higher than for diode mixers.
