Millimeter-Wave Full Waveguide Band Mixers

摘要

Broadband or full waveguide devices are always desirable and required for many system integrations, such as fiber optics, EW and instrumentation applications. Many broadband devices operating from tens of MHz to 50 GHz were developed and have become available in the industry in recent years. However, the broadband devices in high millimeter-wave bands are still under development and their availability is limited. Among these devices, the full waveguide band frequency sources with +13 dBm or higher power output that are required to drive the standard balanced mixers in V-, E-, and W-Bands are still very expensive and difficult to manufacture.
