Abstract
Triple balanced mixers (TBM) are ideally suited for use in heterodyne transceivers with great signal bandwidths. The design and construction of a hybrid broadband TBM based on commercial silicon crossed quad diodes is presented. Broadband planar baluns and the use of balanced edge and broadside coupled striplines allow for covering an RF / LO frequency range of 1 GHz to 35 GHz and at least 10 GHz IF bandwidth, if we claim for up- and downconversion loss values below 15 dB. This is achieved with local oscillator power levels PLO ∈ [10,14] dBm and an input 1 dB compression point of 6 dBm. The paper includes spectral measurement data which are in reasonable agreement with the simulation results that are based on a co-simulation procedure between 3D electromagnetic field (EM) simulations and nonlinear harmonic balance circuit simulations.
