Abstract

In this paper, we present V-band high conversion gain quadruple subharmonic mixers adopting the cascode structure. The subharmonic mixers were successfully integrated by using 0.1 μm GaAs PHEMTs and the coplanar waveguide structures. We show that the highest conversion gain of 3.4 dB thus far at a LO power of 13 dBm from the fabricated mixers. The millimeter-wave subharmonic mixer also ensure a high degree of isolation showing -53.6 dB in the LO-to-IF and -46.2 dB in the LO-to-RF, respectively, at a frequency of 14.5 GHz. The high conversion gain achieved in this work is the first report among the millimeter-wave monolithic IC subharmonic mixers.
