A 530-GHz Balanced Mixer
We report on the design and performance of a 530-GHz balanced SIS mixer, the first balanced mixer in this frequency range. This quasi-optical balanced mixer utilizes a cross-slot antenna on a hyperhemispherical substrate lens with eight superconductor–insulator–superconductor (SIS) junctions and a 180 lumped element IF hybrid circuit. The local oscillator (LO) and the radio frequency (RF) signa...
متن کاملOptical-frequency balanced mixer.
Optical signal processing devices based on quasi-phase-matched three-wave mixing and cascaded three-wave mixing in guided-wave geometries have been demonstrated to operate efficiently at practical pump-power levels. We describe operation of such devices in a balanced mode that allows mixing without wavelength offset and separation of mixed output from pump and signal input without wavelength-se...
متن کاملTutorial on the double balanced mixer
Smart use of mixers is a relevant issue in radio engineering and in instrumentation design, and of paramount importance in phase noise metrology. However simple the mixer seems, every time I try to explain to a colleague what it does, something goes wrong. One difficulty is that actual mixers operate in a wide range of power (150 dB or more) and frequency (up to 3 decades). Another difficulty i...
متن کامل1.8-μm thulium microlasers integrated on silicon
A key challenge for silicon photonic systems is the development of compact on-chip light sources. Thulium-doped fiber and waveguide lasers have recently generated interest for their highly efficient emission around 1.8 μm, a wavelength range also of growing interest to silicon-chip based systems. Here, we report on highly compact and low-threshold thulium-doped microcavity lasers integrated wit...
متن کاملA 60 GHz double balanced sub-harmonic mixer MMIC
We present the design and measured results for a 60 GHz double balanced sub-harmonic MMIC mixer fabricated using the TRW 0.15μm gate length GaAs pHEMT foundry process. The sub-harmonic mixer architecture eliminates the need for costly mm-wave sources that are usually required with conventional fundamental frequency mixers. The mixer has been integrated into a coaxial package and a measured conv...
