Abstract
A new optimization method is presented for the design of wide-band harmonic self-oscillating mixers (HSOMs). High conversion gain is obtained through near-bifurcation operation and optimization of the harmonic content of the self-oscillation. Bifurcation analysis- and control-techniques are used in combination with nonlinear optimization techniques based on the use of an auxiliary generator. An 11.25-1.5 GHz third harmonic self-oscillating mixer (3HSOM) with a 2.5 dB down-conversion gain over a 1.2 GHz bandwidth has been designed. A good agreement between the simulated and experimental results has been found.
