Abstract

Disclosed is a mixer circuit which employs four FET's in a manner so that a source electrode of a first FET and a source electrode of a second FET are connected to a first terminal, a source electrode of a third FET and a source electrode of a fourth FET are connected to a second terminal, a first impedance circuit is connected between the first terminal and the earth, a second impedance circuit is connected between the second terminal and the earth, a first high frequency input terminal is connected through a first switching circuit to a junction between the first impedance circuit and the first terminal, a second high frequency input terminal is connected through a second switching circuit to a junction between the second impedance circuit and the second terminal, a gate electrode of the first FET and a gate electrode of the fourth FET are connected to a third terminal, a gate electrode of the second FET and a gate electrode of the third FET are connected to a fourth terminal, a drain electrode of the first FET and a drain electrode of the third FET are connected to a fifth terminal, a drain electrode of the second FET and a drain electrode of the fourth FET are connected to a si…
