A 1.9 GHz (RF) down conversion mixer has been designed in a standard 0.25μ CMOS process. The local oscillator (LO) frequency is at 1.85 GHz. The mixer provides a voltage gain of 2.133 dB while drawing a current of 5.2 mA from a 2.5 V supply. The IIP3 of the mixer is 5.123 dBm and the -1dB compression is at -5.83 dBm. Detailed design process and simulation results are presented in this report.

An experimental study of a balanced mixer based on 2A116A-1 diodes was carried out.Conversion losses were measured in the input frequency range 2450 ± 45 MHz during downconversion to an intermediate 2125 MHz. Conversion loss does not exceed 20 dB anarrow band 2440±10 The amplitude characteristic taken, from which itcan be seen that it is linear for signals up 0 dBm (1 mW). dependence conversion...

The method described below recovers zinc, a valuable metal that is present in high concentrations in filter ash from the thermal treatment of waste, and returns the filter ash stripped of heavy metals to the combustion process in order to destroy organic substances. On an industrial scale, the heavy metals in the filter ash were mobilized by means of hydrochloric acid in the acidic fluids produ...

In this paper, a 1.2-V RF front-end realized for the personal communications services (PCS) direct conversion receiver is presented. The RF front-end comprises a low-noise amplifier (LNA), quadrature mixers, and active RC low-pass filters with gain control. Quadrature local oscillator (LO) signals are generated on chip by a double-frequency voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and frequency divi...

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.

This paper describes a 1.5-V 5 GHz I/Q down conversion mixer in a 0.18-μm CMOS process. The mixer achieves a conversion gain of 12.7 dB within 1-dB compression point (iCP1dB) of -15.83 dBm. It also achieves a double side band (DSB) NF of 13.5 dB. The mixer's IIP3 is -5.94 dBm. The mixer consumes only 5.72 mA of current from a 1.5-V power supply.

Abstract This paper describes a new switching topology of a sampling mixer for SAW-less GPS (L1 band) receivers. The GPS receiver with the new mixer achieved NF 2.5dB and good blocking performance. In an alternative implementation, the mixer is stacked under a Quadrature VCO to reuse supply current. As a result, the current consumption of the GPS receiver is 11mA from 1.8V supply while maintain...
