TLDR
In this paper, the large-signal current and voltage waveforms of a mixer diode are determined for any configuration where the impedance seen by the diode at the local oscillator (LO) frequency and its harmonics is known.Abstract:
A technique is described which enables the large-signal current and voltage waveforms to be determined for a mixer diode. This technique is applicable to any configuration where the impedance seen by the diode at the local oscillator (LO) frequency and its harmonics is known.read more
