A subharmonic self-oscillating mixer with integrated antenna for 60-GHz wireless applications

@article{citeulike:2776229, abstract = {A balanced integrated-antenna self-oscillating mixer at 60 GHz is presented in this paper. The modal radiation characteristics of a dual-feed planar quasi-Yagi antenna are used to achieve RF-local oscillator (RF-LO) isolation between closely spaced frequencies.
