چکیده
Received Jun 12, 2014 Revised Aug 20, 2014 Accepted Aug 26, 2014 The present paper highlights an innovative broadband millimeter-wave single balanced diode mixer which is designed using a newly designed 90 substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) coupler and two cavities (SIW) filter. The mixer covers RF/LO operating frequency range which fluctuates between 10 to 12 GHz and IF port covers 2GHz. The proposed mixer exhibits a fairly low conversion loss of less than 10 dB and high port to-port isolations over the frequency band of interest as the simulated results make clear. Furthermore, the two cavities SIW filter is embedded to achieve a better image frequency suppression of about 28dB. Keyword:

Design of a millimeter-wave third-harmonic mixer using substrate integrated waveguide balun
A planar millimeter-wave third-harmonic mixer with low conversion loss is proposed. The mixing circuit consists of a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) balun, a pair of diodes, a diplexer and microstrip matching circuit. The mixer is ideal for use as down-converter and up-converter. For a fixed intermediate frequency (IF) of 2 GHz, the mixer has an up-conversion loss of 14.5-15.6 dB and a dow...
