Abstract
It is shown that nonlinearity in the forward characteristics of Schottky-barrier devices contributes significantly to the levels of 3rd-order intermodulation distortion in the output of balanced diode mixers. Predicted performance agrees well with results obtained from a typical h.f. mixer.
