In
this study, we investigate microwave mixers
realized by diodes and a ring hybrid. Recently
we have shown a version in which the LO and IF
signals appeared at the same physical port of
the mixer. Now we investigate this idea
systematically. The problem is, which functions
can be concentrated at the same physical port.
The following possibilities exist: LO and IF
(investigated earlier), RF and LO, RF and IF,
and all the three signals at common port. As a
result, one of them is new and valuable, when
the RF and IF signals are joined. The remaining
two possibilities can be realized only with a
significant degradation of the mixer parameters.
Key words: Microwave circuits, mixer,
ring, third order intercept point.
