A Zero-IF Sub-Harmonic Mixer with High LO-RF Isolation using 0.18 μm CMOS Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we introduce a zero-IF sub-harmonic mixer with high isolation in the 5GHz band using 0.18μm CMOS technology. Placing an LC-Tank between the class AB stage and the mixer core improves the isolation between the LO and RF ports. The measured isolation is obtained with a 48 dB between LO and RF ports; and a 9.5dB conversion gain is acquired while consuming 7mA at 2.5V supply voltage. Index Terms — LO-RF isolation, low voltage, Sub-harmonic mixer, zero-IF receiver.

Abstract: The effect of using a tuning inductance on the performance of a Gilbert cell-based two level transistor CMOS sub-harmonic mixer is investigated. The tuning inductor used between the RF and LO switching stages causes conversion gain enhancement and noise figure improvement. Additionally, it compensates LO distortion due to the phase mismatch of LO signals in the sub-harmonic mixer. The...

This report describes a sub-harmonic mixer for WCDMA applications. The circuit converts a 2 GHz RF signal directly to baseband using a 1 GHz LO frequency. The mixer uses common source MOSFETs with inductive degeneration to convert the input RF voltage to a current. This current is then steered using a switching network composed of triode-region MOSFETs that is driven with the LO and a 90 degree...
