@conference{10902/3446, year = {2003}, month = {9}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/3446}, abstract = {New non-linear optimisation techniques for the design of self-oscillating mixers are presented. The techniques enable fixing the self-oscillation frequency and selecting the optimum self-oscillating amplitude for maximum conversion gain. Using bifurcation-theory concepts, it has been possible to increase the range with self-oscillating-mixer operation. The new techniques have been applied to the design and simulation of a 5.5GHz-0.5GHz down-converter obtaining very good agreement with the experimental results.}, publisher = {URSI 2003, XVIII Simposium Nacional de la Unión Científica Internacional de Radio, La Coruña}, title = {Optimización no lineal de mezcladores autooscilantes}, author = {Ver Hoeye, Samuel Ezechie and Zurdo Trueba, Luis Aurelio and Suárez Rodríguez, Almudena}, }
