An oscillator-mixer arrangement including a dual-gate field effect transistor of the Schottky type for supplying an intermediate frequency output signal. The output signal is obtained by subtractively mixing a high frequency input signal and a signal produced in the arrangement. The input signal is applied to the first gate electrode (G1), the produced signal is controlled by the second gate electrode (G2), and the output signal is recovered at the drain electrode (D), while the source electrode (S) is directly connected to ground. A micro-strip line having a characteristic impedance ZO which is electromagnetically coupled to a dielectric resonator and loaded by an impedance (ZO) is connected to the second gate electrode (G2). The arrangement is intended to be included in a receiver front end assembly for very high frequency waves, typically of a frequency of 12 GHz, used for broadcasting radio-television programs by artificial satellites.
