Abstract
AbstractThis work describes the application of a commercial CAD software to implement load‐pull techniques in the design of microwave mixers. This method is used to generate conversion‐loss regions when a diode is pumped and operated as a mixer circuit. Emphasis is placed on the inclusion of image and out‐of‐band terminations to optimize the operating conditions required to obtain low conversion loss. An X‐band 5‐dB conversion‐loss mixer is designed and tested using this method. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
