ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a NRD waveguide mixer adopting a ring hybrid coupler applicable to a small-sized and high functional millimeter wave receiving/transmitting device. The NRD waveguide has a housing including two parallel conductive plates. The ring hybrid coupler is installed in the housing and has an annular ring formed with first to fourth ports which are radially extended about the annular ring. An oscillating device is connected to the first port so as to generate a local oscillating signal. A rod antenna is connected to the second port so as to receive/transmit a radio frequency signal. A first balanced mixer mount is connected to the third port and is provided with a first Schottky diode. A second balanced mixer mount is connected to the fourth port and is provided with a second Schottky diode. The radio frequency signal and the oscillating signal inputted from the first and second ports are mixed in the ring hybrid coupler to be transformed into an addition signal and a subtraction signal. The addition and subtraction signals are transmitted to the third and fourth ports to switch the Schottky diodes respectively so that an intermediate signal is generated.
