    MMIC Design and Technology MMIC Design and Technology: Instructor Dr. Ali Medi

    Uploaded by

    Henri Dass
    This document discusses mixers and frequency translation in a lecture about MMIC design and technology. It explains the mathematical formula for frequency translation using cosine functions when mixing RF and LO signals. It also discusses reality due to nonlinearity, conversion loss, mixer design approaches like matching, examples of single frequency circuits to terminate LO harmonics, and different mixer circuit implementations including single-ended FET, dual gate, balanced FET, double balanced, and using baluns. The lecture covers both theoretical and practical aspects of mixer circuits.
