a Measurement setup. b Output spectrum for the upconverter tested for 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz LO signals (PLO = 8 dBm) for an intermediate frequency signal of fIF = 100 MHz and PIF = − 16 dBm. c Output spectrum of the mixer under downconverter operation (fRF = 2.8 GHz and PRF = − 16 dBm; fLO = 2.5 GHz and PLO = 8 dBm). d Output spectrum for the upconverter mixer for a local oscillator with frequency 15 GHz (PLO = 8 dBm) and 21 GHz (PLO = 8 dBm), showing the potential capabilities of TIM diodes to perform at this frequency range. The cable losses are not de-embedded.
