ABSTRACT:
An improved mixing circuit includes a MESFET having an LO signal coupled to its gate through a charging capacitor and an RF signal coupled to its drain through a first bandpass filter. Electrons are pumped onto the charging capacitor to bias the gate of the MESFET. The MESFET drain is coupled to a second bandpass filter which passes a signal at the mixed frequency.
