Design of a W-band Subharmonically pumped mixer based on a hybrid Schottky diode model

摘要

This paper presents a hybrid Schottky diode model for mixer design. The model consists of two parts: the passive part and the active part. The passive part is built according to the dimensions of the diode which can be analyzed by EM simulator and the active part is built according to the I–V characteristic which can be analyzed by harmonic balanced simulator. Based on the proposed model, a W-band Subharmonically pumped mixer was designed, whose conversion loss is below 14 dB from 85 GHz to 93 GHz.
