Abstract
A lot of demand for parts of millimeter wave band, as would be expected 57~63 GHz band down conversion mixer was designed and fabricated using IHP 0.25 um SiGe process. Designed and fabricated mixer was double balanced type and located reduced 3D balun at RF port and buffer amplifier at outport for suppression LO signal and conversion gain. Fabricated mixer measured conversion gain of 13.8 dB, $P1dB_{in}$ -17 dBm and 88 mA of current consumption characteristics, respectively.
