A double balanced mixer includes a local oscillator balun, a radio
frequency balun and four diodes. The local oscillator balun has a
transmission line, a half wavelength transmission line and a quarter
wavelength transmission line mounted on a printed circuit board. The
radio frequency balun has a transmission line, a half wavelength
transmission line and a printed circuit line mounted on a printed circuit
board. The four diodes are mounted to the printed circuit board and
connected between the local oscillator balun and the radio frequency
balun.
