Abstract:
A quadrature hybrid comprising first and second coupled open waveguides. Each open waveguide comprises first and second ports. One port in the first open waveguide is used as input port for an input signal which is used to generate I and Q output signals. The other port in the first open waveguide is used to output the Q signal, and one of the ports in the second waveguide is used to output the I signal. The other of the ports in the second open waveguide is an isolated port. The quadrature hybrid comprises a first differential amplifier with positive and negative ports, the positive port being connected to the first open waveguide and the negative port being connected to the second open waveguide.

Abstract:
A circuit with inputs for first (LO) and second (IF) unbalanced signals at respective first and second frequencies, also comprising a mixer for the first and second input signals to produce a third signal (RF) at a third frequency at an output port. The mixer comprises first and second transistors which are cross-coupled to each other. Output terminals of the transistors are connected to the output port, and the mixer also comprises a first impedance connected to ground. The mixer, by means of the transistors and the first impedance is an active balun for the first input signal (IF), and the input port for the second signal (LO) comprises a second impedance, so that the first and second impedances together act as a passive balun for the second signal (LO).

A sub-harmonic mixer comprising first and second input ports, and an output port, and arranged to output products of signals applied at the input ports. The sub-harmonic mixer comprises a first stage a second stage arranged in series with each other, with the input ports of the sub-harmonic mixer being input ports of the first stage, and the output port of the sub-harmonic mixer being an output port of the second stage. An output port of the first stage is connected to an input port of the second stage. The first stage is arranged to generate a fundamental product and a first third order intermodulation distortion product in-phase with each other. The second stage is arranged to generate a second third order intermodulation distortion product in anti-phase to the fundamental product generated by the second stage.

A five-six-port circuit comprising a waveguide on a main surface of a substrate. The hollow waveguide comprises probes arranged longitudinally inside the hollow waveguide arranged to contact the input port of one of three power detectors, whose output ports are arranged to contact the input port of one power detector. The output ports of the power detectors contact the conductor of an open waveguide which extends in parallel to the hollow waveguide. The probes are equidistantly spaced with a distance of L. The circuit also comprises three LP filters, each of which is connected to the conductor of the open waveguide at a position which corresponds to the position of one of the power detectors.

An arrangement (100, 400, 500, 600) comprising a first plate (110, 410, 510, 610) and a second plate (120, 420, 520, 620) at a first distance (di) from each other with an overlap between them. The arrangement also comprises a third (130, 430, 530, 630) and a fourth (140, 440, 540, 640) plate between the first and second plates in said overlap so that the third and fourth plates do not overlap each other. All plates are made of an electrically conducting material, are essentially flat and plane and are separated from each other by a dielectric material. The first plate comprises an input/output port (111, 411, 511, 611), the second plate comprises a ground port (112), and the third and fourth plates comprise an output/input port (131, 141, 431, 441, 531, 541, 551). The arrangement will serve as a power divider, a power combiner or as a balun.
