ABSTRACT:
A low-cost low noise block down-converter for use in a receiver in a satellite broadcasting system is provided. The down-converter includes a high-performance self-oscillating mixer made from a MESFET with a dielectric resonator for providing feedback. The self-oscillating mixer functions as both an oscillator and a mixer and, thus, reduces the cost and number of components to manufacture the down-converter.
