Abstract

In this paper, Sub Harmonic Ring Mixer using Anti-Parallel Diode Pair is studied. Conventional mixers mix LO signal with RF signal and, obtain IF signal from the difference between LO and RF. Sub harmonic ring mixers using APDP mix RF signal with the second harmonic of LO signal, LO frequency needed for conventional receiver is reduced by 1/2.The produced mixer showed 12 dB conversion loss, and 1 dB compression point of IF signal, in respect to RF signal, was found at the 0 dBm RF signal. Isolation LO/IF and LO/RF is 24.6 dB and 22.5 dB respectively. Isolation RF/LO and LO/RF is 32.6 dB and 22.5 dB respectively.

본 논문에서는 Anti-Parallel 다이오드를 이용한 서브하모닉 링 혼합기를 설계 연구하였다. 기존의 혼합기는 LO신호와 RF신호를 혼합하여 LO와 RF의 차로 IF신호를 얻는다. APDP(Anti-Parallel Diode Pair)를 이용한 서브하모닉 링 혼합기는 RF신호와 LO의 제 2고조파 성분과 혼합하므로 기존의 혼합기보다 LO의 주파수가 1/2로 줄어드는 장점이 있다. 제작한 서브하모닉 링혼합기의 변환손실은 12.6 ㏈이고, 1 ㏈ 압축점은 0 ㏈m이다. Lo/If, Lo/RF의 분리도 특성은 24.6 ㏈, 22.5 ㏈이고, RF/LO, LO/RF의 분리도 특성은 32.6 ㏈, 22.5 ㏈를 보인다.
