Problems solved by technology

[0003] Most of the existing double-balanced mixers are diode double-balanced mixers or CMOS double-balanced mixers. For the schematic diagram of diode double-balanced mixers, see figure 1 As shown, it is generally made by thick film technology, and the passive components occupy a large area and are bulky, so they are not suitable for miniaturized microwave radio frequency circuits in the field of mobile communications.

Abstract

The invention discloses a micro double balanced mixer. The micro double balanced mixer comprises a first 3dB electric bridge, a second 3dB electric bridge, a third 3dB electric bridge, a fourth 3dB electric bridge, a first impedance matching circuit, a second impedance matching circuit, a third impedance matching circuit, a fourth impedance matching circuit, a first mixer diode, a second mixer diode, a third mixer diode, a fourth mixer diode, a first filter circuit and a second filter circuit, wherein a public node between the first filter circuit and the second filter circuit is a transmission signal port. The micro double balanced mixer is high in local oscillator power, good in local oscillator isolation, large in dynamic range, small in variable-frequency loss, small in size dimension and suitable for a small-sized microwave radio frequency circuit, and has an inhibiting effect on even-order products of RF (radio frequency).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mixers in the communication field, in particular to a miniaturized double-balanced mixer. Background technique [0002] A mixer is an integral part of an RF microwave circuit system. Whether it is microwave communication, radar, remote control, remote sensing, or reconnaissance and electronic countermeasures, as well as microwave measurement systems, microwave signals must be processed by reducing the frequency to medium and low frequencies with a mixer. In practice, most AM (Amplitude Modulation, amplitude modulation), SSB (Single Side Band, single sideband) and digital transmitters require a mixer to convert the signal frequency to a higher frequency, and then transmit it into the air ; while the superheterodyne receiver needs to use the mixer to convert the frequency of the received signal to a lower frequency - intermediate frequency. The receiver must use this lower frequency signal, because the si...
