Hi: Many decades ago I worked on tunnel diode amplifiers. http://www.prc68.com/I/Aertech.shtml#TDA We used a 5.1 Volt Zener biased at a specific current. AFAICR this was a magic combination that resulted in a very temperature stable voltage. -- Have Fun, Brooke Clarke http://www.PRC68.com http://www.End2PartyGovernment.com/

That is a coincidence, i visited that site yesterday looking for microwave mixers and found info on an interesting looking Bob Mouw mixer. But I could not find more details on the net.

Hi Fred: I worked with Bob and might be able to help. What's you mixer question?

Hi Brooke, I build a LO on 2.4 GHz and a 2.4 to 4.4 GHz VCO. They need to be mixed to also get the 1 to 2400 MHz range. It will be a frequency generator with pindiode attenuation, FM, AM modulation and usable as sweep generator. LCD display with freuency reading and power in dBm. The microstrip mixers can have problems with the low IF ( I think), normal double ballanced mixers will be difficult because the transformers should be able to handle 4.4 GHz. The Mouw mixer looked like a solution but I only found the patent picture and that was not very clear to read, i need more detailed info so I can build one. This is my first microwave eperiment.
