It is also one of important parts in the data access technology development for high data rate communications. This paper discusses the verification design and characterization of up-down frequency converter implemented based on double-balanced mixer. To have a compact design, an integrated circuit (IC) component from Analog Devices is employed for each frequency converter, i.e. LT5579 and LT5557 for up and down frequency converter, respectively. The use of both ICs developed based on double-balanced mixer technique is due to their features which have integrated transformer and amplifier required for frequency converting process. The experimental characterization have demonstrated the feasibility of frequency converter performances in the frequency range of 3.3GHz-3.8GHz for up frequency converter and the frequency range of 1.7GHz-2GHz for down frequency converter suitable for some wireless communication applications. The characterization results of conversion gain have been performed to demonstrate the good agreement.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Conversion gain,Double balanced mixers,Experimental characterization,High data rate communications,Integrated circuit components,isolation,Return loss,Wireless communication applications[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]conversion gain,double-balanced mixer,isolation,return loss,up-down frequency converter[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This work is supported by the research grant from Institute for Research and Community Services (Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian Masyarakat, LPPM), Institut Teknologi Kalimantan (ITK), Balikpapan, Indonesia, under the contract number: 813/IT10.III/PPM.01/2019.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/TSSA48701.2019.8985478[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
