Hi, I need your recommendations about receiver design which converts X-band to S-band. Would you prefer single stage downconversion or two stage downconversion?

The multistage mixer has many advantages such as good stability, high gain, low noise and flexibility for channel selection
Major factor for selecting multistage mixer is single stage mixer cannot down-convert higher frequencies because of large phase noise
Linearity correction and spectral leakage check cannot be made in robust manner in case of single stage mixer
