    Abstract: A mixer is provided having a mixing element, an input signal port for incoming signals at a frequency f.sub.IN, a local oscillator signal port for signals from a local oscillator having a fundamental frequency f.sub.LO, and an output port from which the resultant frequency may be taken. Means are provided to impose a DC component of bias voltage across the mixing element at one of three levels. The mixer is such that it has a pair of conduction threshold voltages which are substantially symmetrical above and below zero volts, beyond which the mixing element will be conductive at least when a signal from the local oscillator is imposed on it. The signal from the local oscillator has substantially sinusoidal voltage waveform, with a peak-to-peak voltage which is greater than the voltage difference between the pair of conduction threshold voltages. When the first zero DC component bias voltage is imposed across the mixer element, the mixing element is conductive in respective symmetrical positive-going and negative-going senses, and the maximized resultant frequency is .vertline.f.sub.IN .+-.2f.sub.LO .vertline.. When the second DC component of bias voltage is imposed across the mixing element, it conducts only once per cycle of local oscillator voltage, so that the maximized resultant frequency is .vertline.f.sub.IN .+-.f.sub.LO .vertline.. When the third DC component of bias voltage is imposed across the mixing element, the value of voltage across the mixing element exceeds the threshold voltage in the same sense as the voltage shift for about 35% to about 55% of the period of the local oscillator voltage cycle making the mixer conductive, but it is also conductive in the opposite sense for at least a portion of the remaining period of the cycle, so that third harmonic mixing occurs, and the maximized resultant frequency is .vertline.f.sub.IN .+-.3f.sub.LO .vertline..

    Abstract: By inserting a rectangular conductive flat member into a waveguide in contact relation of their edge portions to the waveguide walls in parallel with an electric field therein, cutoff frequencies at portions of the waveguide to which the conductive flat member is inserted become higher to form a cutoff region. The conductive flat member is composed of a conductor plate or by evaporating a conductive thick film on a dielectric or magnetic plate. The conductive flat member occasionally lined with a non-conductive flat member is provided with circuit elements such as slots formed by punching and strip lines or semiconductor diodes formed by evaporation, and microwave circuits having various functions such as filter circuits, directional couplers, oscillator circuits, frequency converter circuits, frequency multiplier circuits, switch circuits, phase shifter circuits, etc. are constructed on the conductive flat member by combination of the circuit elements through mutual coupling therebetween. These microwave circuits are coupled to transmission regions of the waveguide adjoining both sides of the cut-off region by circuit elements located at the end portion of the conductive flat member. Accordingly, only by inserting into the waveguide a conductive flat member on which various circuit elements are provided, desired microwave circuits of various kinds are constructed very easily inside the waveguide. Such microwave circuits are small in size and low in transmission loss due to elimination of waveguide converters conventionally used, and are suitable for massproduction due to simplicity of structure and ease of manufacturing and assembling which results from mechanical working technique of high degree being unnecessary.
