We present a 100-element single-ended diode grid mixer operating at 2.45 GHz. Each element incorporates two diodes in series. We measure an input third-order intercept of 11 W (40.5 dBm), and output third-order intercept of 3.4 W (35.4 dBm), and an associated conversion loss of 5.1 dB. The power-handling capability of the array is 100 times larger than that of a microstrip mixer using a single element. The local oscillator (LO) drive requirement for the entire array is 1.4 W (31.6 dBm). The angular dependence of the array's IF power is also presented and is in agreement with theory.}, number={5}, journal={IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation}, author={Oliveira, M. and Cheung, C.

This qualitative theory predicts that detrimental substrate-mode effects can be greatly reduced through a judicious choice of the array unit cell size. Experimental evidence from quasi-optical tripler grids is presented to confirm the theory. Measured results show a dramatic improvement in the radiation pattern and effective radiated power of arrays with both grounded and ungrounded substrates.}, number={6}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES}, author={Al-Zayed, A and Swisher, RR and Lecuyer, F and Guyette, AC and Sun, Q and De Lisio, MP}, year={2001}, month={Jun}, pages={1067–1072} }
