A Formal Model of Identity Mixer Mixer

Identity Mixer is an anonymous credential system developed at IBM that allows users for instance to prove that they are over 18 years old without revealing their name or birthdate. This privacy-friendly technology is realized using zero-knowledge proofs. We describe a formal model of Identity Mixer that is well-suited for automated protocol verification tools in the spirit of black-box cryptogr...

New Mixer Design Notes

This mixer is based on a passive FET resistive frequency converter cell described by first described in the literature by Steven Maas [ ] and explored by Wes Hayward and others [ ]. One difficulty with a DFET passive mixer is obtaining negative gate bias. This has been achieved using gate conduction as in the TriQuint 5M31 [Campbell, Criss], a LO frequency driven negative voltage converter as i...

Mixer Design Radiometry System

The purpose of the radiometer project was to research and demonstrate the working principles of a radiometer system. The radiometer design team was composed of five members, each contributing a specific component to the final system. A radiometer system is a device that detects microwave emissions from noise producing objects [1]. These noise sources are typically objects that emit heat and the...

Optical-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...
