A new approximating function in the form of a fifth-order polynomial is obtained for the current-voltage characteristic of a mixer diode with Schottky barrier and with compensation of potential barrier of p-n-junction. Mathematical expressions are set up and relative levels calculated for the amplitude spectrum of harmonic and combinative components of the current in a mixer diode excited by four independent signals with different frequencies. The conditions for minimum of the combinative components are formulated for a wide dynamic range of input signals.References
