AN EXPERIMENTAL Ka-BAND MIXER

Abstract

A K-band to X-band converter has been developed and placed in operation at a field site. The crystal is mounted in a modified K-band crystal mount. Several crystals were calibrated for field use. The measured parameters of bandwidth and conversion loss were 200 Mc and 12 to 15 db, respectively. A minimum detectable signal of -72 dbm was measured using an X-band traveling-wave tube as the first i-f amplifier.
