Held, D.N., and A.R. Kerr, 1978: Conversion loss and noise of microwave and millimeter-wave mixers: Part 1 — Theory. IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory Tech., 26, 49-55.
An analysis is presented for the conversion loss and noise of microwave and millimeter-wave mixers. The analysis includes the effects of nonlinear capacitance, arbitrary embedding impedances, nonideality of microwave diodes, and shot, thermal, and scattering noise generated in the diode. Correlation of down-converted components of the time-varying shot noise is shown to explain the "anomalous" noise observed in millimeter-wave mixers. Part 1 of the paper presents the theoretical basis for predicting mixer performance, while Part 2 compares theoretical and experimental results for mixers operating at 87 and 115 GHz.
