Abstract
In this paper the design and characterization of a linear C-band single ended resistive SiC-MESFET mixer is presented. The mixer has a minimum conversion loss of 7.8 dB and has a third order intermodulation intercept point of 30.3 dBm. The mixer is designed using a harmonic-balance simula-tion load-pull approach. This design method is especially use-ful for high-level mixers, where small-signal approximations cannot be used.
