source fed mixer problems
What about sweeping the gate bias and plot the drain output..
For best conversion gain an active mixer doesn’t need only proper bias, but also proper matching at RF and LO input and IF output.
thnx fr the reply...well..the point is its a wideband mixer and it is giving about the same amount of loss in the entire frequency range I designed it on...so I'm assuming tht the matching part is okay...thts basically the reason I'm nt understanding the change in the bias voltages I'm having to supply..would appreciate ur take on this..
Added after 2 minutes:
and one more thng..I now believe theres definitely smethng wrong with the biasing circuit only since I'm hardly getting any drain current when I measure it after biasing..anyway...I'd appreciate any suggestion or advise on this..
