Abstract

A new kind of harmonic mixer for use in phase locking systems for MM-wave oscillators is presented. The mixer has compact design and combines directional coupler and conventional harmonic mixer in one element. Construction and features of the mixer are discussed. Experimentally measured main characteristics of the mixer are presented. Possibility of continuous frequency scan of phase locked MM-wave oscillator within a full waveguide band is demonstrated.
