Abstract
An experimental study of a balanced mixer based on 2A116A-1 diodes was carried out.Conversion losses were measured in the input frequency range of 2450 ± 45 MHz during downconversion to an intermediate frequency of 2125 MHz. Conversion loss does not exceed 20 dB in anarrow band of 2440±10 MHz. The amplitude characteristic of the mixer was taken, from which itcan be seen that it is linear for input signals up to 0 dBm (1 mW). The dependence of conversionlosses on the local oscillator power is studied. It is shown that the minimum losses are observed ata local oscillator power of 13 dBm (20 mW). The combination frequency spectrum at the mixeroutput does not contain parasitic conversion products above minus 50 dB with respect to the usefulsignal in the 100 MHz bandwidth. The mixer is recommended for use in receiving and transmittingequipment and measuring equipment. Comparison with other mixers shows a noticeable advantage- high selectivity in relation to out-of-band signals. This is achieved by applying two bandpass filters and a low pass filter. Three filters were simulated in the Microwave Office softwarepackage. Models and amplitude-frequency characteristics of three filters from Microwave Officeare given. The mixer is made in a frame-type case made of aluminum. It has two ceramic boardssized 24x30 mm (material 22xc). The method of manufacturing a printed circuit board pattern isthin-film technology. The case is closed by two tight covers. All three connectors are typeIX GOST13317, socket.
