In this paper, we propose a double balanced mixer with a tunable Marchand balun. The circuit is designed in a SiGe BiCMOS process using Schottky diodes. The tunability of the Marchand balun is used to enhance critical parameters for double balanced mixers. The local oscillator-IF isolation can be changed from –51 to –60.5 dB by tuning. Similarly, the IIP2can be improved from 41.3 to 48.7 dBm at 11 GHz, while the input referred 1-dB compression point is kept constant at 8 dBm. The tuning have no influence on conversion loss, which remains at 8.8 dB at a LO power level of 11 dBm at the center frequency of 11 GHz. The mixer has a 3 dB bandwidth from 8 to 13 GHz, covering the entire X-band. The full mixer has a size of 2050 μm × 1000 μm.

This paper presents a digitally tunable SIW (substrate integrated waveguide) filter designed for X-band, based on RF-MEMS (radio frequency micro-electrical-mechanical systems) technology. Four commercial off-the-shelf RF-MEMS single-pole single-throw (SPST) switches were directly mounted on the upper surface of the filter, with metallic tuning posts specifically located within each cavity to define the potential achievable frequency range. Fabricated on standard alumina substrate, the design of the filter and the biasing network enabled fine digital frequency control of up to four functional states by the inclusion of wire bondings between each switch and the substrate. A relative tuning range of 2.3% was achieved between the lower and upper discrete states of 2.76% and 2.89% in the 3 dB fractional bandwidths.
