Abstract
A mixer including a field effect transistor having a source, a drain and a gate, an input port coupled to the source or to the drain of the field effect transistor, an output port coupled to the drain of the field effect transistor if the input port is coupled to the source, or coupled to the source of the field effect transistor if the input port is coupled to the drain, a local oscillator for mixing a first frequency on the input port to a second frequency on the output port, a first micro-strip line coupling the local oscillator to the gate, and a shunt resistor capacitor termination coupled to the gate. The shunt resistor capacitor termination includes a resistor in series with a capacitor.
