A highly linear down conversion mixer with moderate gain used for 2.4GHz RF applications is presented in this paper using 0.18μm CMOS technology. The proposed mixer incorporates current bleeding technique & degenerative resistors to improve linearity and conversion gain. Also the negative feedback configuration of the circuit gives flat conversion gain increasing the overall bandwidth. The simu...

In this paper, a 2.4GHz low power downconversion mixer with high linearity for direct-conversion receivers based on a standard 0.18um CMOS technology is proposed. In the circuit design, Gilbert cell architecture and Common-Gate configuration are used. A simple buffer is applied in the IF output. Simulation results show that the mixer can operate at 2.4GHz and obtain the conversion gain of 11.08...

To afford mechanistic studies in enzyme kinetics and protein folding in the microsecond time domain we have developed a continuous-flow microsecond time-scale mixing instrument with an unprecedented dead-time of 3.8 ± 0.3 μs. The instrument employs a micro-mixer with a mixing time of 2.7 μs integrated with a 30 mm long flow-cell of 109 μm optical path length constructed from two parallel sheets...
