Abstract

The paper presents a novel topology mixer that leads to better performance in terms of linearity and power consumption for low supply voltage. Designed in umc 0.18μm CMOS technology, the mixer achieves: 4.55dB power conversion gain; 13.3dB noise figure; 4dBm input third-order intercept point (IIP3); and only 2mW of power consumption from a 1V supply voltage.
