Features of the development of broadband frequency mixers with suppression of the mirror channel in the range frequencies 9–27 GHz

The article is devoted to features of the development two types of broadband frequency mixers with image channel suppression in the frequency range 9–27 GHz. The purpose of the study is to determine the optimal ways to solve the problem of modeling complex multifunctional microwave units. The article discusses the development process of such functional units as the local oscillator amplifier, low-noise amplifier and frequency mixer. Comparisons of the calculated characteristics with the results of measurements of the manufactured models of the samples are given. Attention is also paid to the technology of manufacturing field-effect transistors, resistors and capacitors that are part of the functional units of the frequency mixer. The scientific novelty lies in the uniqueness of the product development, which includes several functional units on one crystal. As a result, two types of frequency mixers with suppression of the mirror channel in a package design have been created, which, in terms of their characteristics, can replace similar foreign products from Analog Devices.
