We calculate microscopically the properties of $^3$He impurity atoms in $^3$He-$^4$He mixtures, including the spectrum of a single particle and the Fermi--Liquid interaction between $^3$He atoms. From these, we determine the pressure and concentration dependence of the effective mass and the magnetic susceptibility. The long wavelength limit of the single--particle spectrum defines the hydrodynamic effective mass. When $k\geqslant 1.7 $\AA$^{-1}$ the motion of the impurity is damped due to the decay into a roton and a low energy impurity mode. The calculations of the Fermi--Liquid interaction are based on correlated basis functions (CBF) perturbation theory; the relevant matrix elements are determined by the Fermi hypernetted--chain summation method. Our theoretical effective masses agree well with recent measurements \cite{Yorozu93,SimonsLT21} but our analysis suggests a new extrapolation to the zero-concentration limit. With that effective mass we also find a good agreement with the measured \cite{APCT76} Landau parameter $F_0^a$.
