Abstract
A microwave frequency converter is provided with a diode mixer bridge having a balanced port connected to a dual balun. The dual balun is provided by two pairs of balanced secondary conductors juxtaposed a common primary conductor, each pair contributing to the field between balanced conductors leading to the mixer bridge. The dual balun and microstrip circuit layout enable a wider gap to be used between the balanced conductors to the bridge, which enables manufacturably cost efficient implementation.
