Abstract
In this paper, a balanced common gate mixer is presented. The common gate configuration al-lows 0.8 um MESFETs to be used at frequencies in ex-cess of their ft by eliminating the Miller effect. Mea-surements on the mixer indicate a conversion loss of 10.7 dB, with a third order intercept at 0 dBm output pow-er. This performance is in the range of reported mixers at this frequency, even though most mixers use higher-tolerance and more expensive processes.
