Abstract

A high-performance V-band quadruple subharmonic mixer monolithic circuit is fabricated using the millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuit (MIMIC) process. Due to the superior features of the anti-parallel diode pair (APDP) and the utilization of a quarter of fundamental frequency, the proposed subharmonic mixer shows good conversion-gain and isolation characteristics. Maximum conversion gain of 0.8 dB at an LO frequency of 14.5 GHz and an RF frequency of 60.4 GHz is measured. Both LO-to-RF and LO-to-IF isolations are higher than 50 dB in the operation mode.
