Hello,
I would like to design rat-race mixer with 2 diodes. There is a lot of materials, but I didn't read any stuff around matching diodes.
Is it needed or not? I saw both types - 1, diode is on rat race without any microstripe line 2, diode is shifted from rat-race with some matching.
Does it depend on biasing, LO power, RF power or some characteristical values of diode?
Thank you for your help.

Here is some example for first type - on rat-race and here is second type with matching .
I would like to design it for 24 GHz - but is there something different for 2,4GHz; 5,8Ghz or 24GHz from this point of view?
