Abstract
Second-harmonic mixing from 4-40-GHz with a 2-20-GHz local oscillator (LO) has been obtained using an eight-diode antiparallel bridge in a balanced microstrip circuit. The development and testing of this mixer, which includes a lumped-element diplexer, was expedited by a 10*scale model at 4 GHz. The mixer operates with less than 12-dB conversion loss and +12-dBm input third-order intermodulation point, at a LO power of +14 dBm.<>
