Abstract

See full text

When a dual gate FET is used in a mixing type circuit, the non-linear characteristics of an over-driven gate on the FET is used to create the sum and difference of the gate applied signals at the drain of the FET. Although feedback typically is used to increase the linearity of a class A amplifier where a single gate FET is used, the feedback in the present circuit overcomes the problem of maintaining a stable operating point for the mixer circuit while not interfering with the performance of the FET as a mixer. Thus, with the feedback to the first gate, the sensitivity of the DC bias on the second gate is decreased and can be set with simple (wide tolerance) components.
