Effects of mismatch on CMOS monolithic mixers image rejection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image rejection ratio in CMOS double balanced mixers is strongly dependent on the balance between its branches. The influence of the mismatches is analyzed theoretically at the system and circuit level. Guidelines that show the maximum acceptable mismatch to meet a given image rejection ratio specification and experimental results are presented.

A 5.25ghz Monolithic Image-rejection Mixer
This paper describes the implementation of the image rejection mixer block in the 5GHz frequency band using 0.18μm CMOS technology. The image rejection mixer block adopts the double-quadrature topology for high image-rejection ratio in the high frequency applications and is designed for the dual-conversion receiver. The loss of the polyphase filter in the signal path can be reduced with simple ...

This paper describes a triple-band global positioning system (GPS) receiver that simultaneously covers the L1, L2, and L5 frequency bands. The proposed receiver uses an image-rejection technique that can separate signals from the three frequency bands to three corresponding ports. It uses a single RF path containing a low-noise amplifier (LNA), and active and passive mixers with a pair of local...

Radio transceivers capable of dynamic spectrum access require frequency agile transmitters with a clean output spectrum. High-Q filters are difficult to implement on chip and have limited tuning range. Transmitters with high linearity and broadband harmonic rejection can be more flexible and require less filtering. However, traditional Harmonic Rejection mixers suppress only a few harmonics. Th...
