Schottky diodes upconvert with a mere 0.25-dB loss
Abstract
The paper describes a medium-power four-diode upconverter which translates a 70-MHz modulated signal to a 2-GHz frequency range. The upconverter is double sideband and needs no RF tuning adjustments to produce +21 dBm in one of the sidebands with +27-dBm pump power and a +22.5-dBm, 70-MHz input.
