The design and development of a compact receiver front‐end comprised of two even‐harmonic direct‐conversion mixers, a quadrature hybrid coupler, two bandpass filters, two lowpass filters and a Wilkinson power divider are presented. The subharmonic mixer utilizes a well‐matched antiparallel diode (APD) pair. The design helps improve the 2 nd ‐order intermodulation performance (IM2) due to the suppression of the even‐order mixing products and LO noises. The receiver front‐end is able to generate in‐phase I and quadrature‐phase Q baseband outputs at 35 MHz. The detailed design of radio frequency (RF) components at the C‐band and a quadrature intermediate frequency (IF) carrier signal in the I and Q waveforms are demonstrated successfully with a 9‐dB effective IF conversion loss at 10‐dBm LO power at the C‐band. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
