ABSTRACT:
A dumbbell shaped resonator efficiently couples IF signals from short transmission lines to an output transmission line at a radio frequency (RF) mixer's IF output port. The RF mixer uses short transmission lines and terminating resistors to match impedances within the mixer and to minimize the mixer's distortion. The RF mixer, including the dumbbell resonator, is constructed on a printed circuit board and has a low manufacturing cost. Alternatively, the output transmission line is center-tapped to provide a pair of IF signals having opposite phases.
