We obtained for optimal operation a double sideband mixer noise temperature of /spl ap/14000 K and a system conversion loss of /spl ap/23 dB at intermediate frequencies up to 1 GHz. The dependences of the mixer noise temperature on the bias voltage, local oscillator power, and intermediate frequency were consistent with the phenomenological description based on the effective temperature approximation.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1594), last updated on Tue, 25 May 2021 21:26:50 -0500", issn="1051-8223", doi="10.1109/77.622171", opturl="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/622171/", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1109/77.622171" }
