Description
Summary:In this paper, a 560 GHz terahertz sub-harmonic mixer using a new half-global design method is reported. This method combines the advantages of the subdivision design method and the global design method, and greatly enhances the abilities of the optimization of matching variables while retaining the portability of the unit circuit. When the local oscillator (LO) frequency was fixed with 3 mW power at 280 GHz, average up-conversion double sideband (DSB) conversion loss of 8 dB with intermediate frequency (IF) power of −5 dBm was achieved.
