A 2 GHz Highly Linear Downconversion Mixer in 0.18- m CMOS

This paper describes a 2 GHz CMOS active balanced downconversion I/Q mixer in a TSMC0.18m process for a WCDMA receiver. The mixer achieves a conversion gain of 16 dB and a double side band (DSB) NF of 13.8 dB. The mixer's IIP3 is 12.12 dBm. It consumes approximately 5 mA of current from a 1.8-V power supply. The 12.12 dBm IIP3 fulfils the UMTS requirements for a mixer design.

UWB Mixer improvement with Regulated Voltage Source

This paper presents a design of an UWB downconversion integrated CMOS resistive ring mixer with Linear Voltage Regulator (LVR), to supply required biasing voltages for the mixer section. The designed mixer circuit has been optimized for using in heart rate extraction system with microwave Doppler radar at 2.4GHz frequency. This mixer needs 2 DC bias voltages equal to 0.5 and 1 volts for its bes...

24GHz CMOS direct downconversion receiver front-end and VCO design

The explosive growth of today's wireless communication market has brought an in­ creasing demand for high performance radio-frequency (RF) circuits in low-cost tech­ nologies. Because of advancements in RF CMOS circuits, devices, and passive elements in the last decade, it has become possible to develop a RF system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates RF, analog and digital circuits completely. Direct...

A low voltage bulk driven downconversion mixer core

This paper describes a CMOS mixer core, operating at 1GHz, where the RF signal is input via the bulk. The advantages of a bulk driven mixer are low power supply voltages and low power consumption. Simulations have confirmed that a power supply as low as 1V can be used to power the mixer core, which drains approximately 1.6mA. Although the mixer core consumes very low power, it still provides re...
