“…This makes them difficult to work in low supply voltage and low power [8][9][10]. Thus, the proposed technique can be used to improve the linearity of a mixer operating with a low supply voltage and a low power [11][12][13]. Compared to the previously RFCMOS mixers operating at the similar frequency ranges [9][10][11] and to other mixers [11,12], The circuit diagram of the proposed circuit is modified from [15,16].…”

A simple low phase noise and wide tuning range voltagecontrolled oscillator (VCO) and mixer with charge injection designed for 10 GHz band application. The proposed oscillator adopts a complementary cross-coupled pair LC-VCO circuit with only one symmetrical inductor and implemented in TSMC 0.18-um CMOS process. At the supply voltage of 1.8 V, measured results achieve a tuning range of 9.6 to 11.08 GHz, corresponding to 13.9 %, a phase noise under -115.1 dBc/Hz at a 1 MHz offset frequency from 10.02 GHz with a tuned control voltage from 0 to 1.7 V and an output power of -2.231 dBm at 50-termination and at 10.02 GHz. The proposed broadband CMOS double-balance mixer for wireless receiver is presented. Measurement of the CMOS mixer is performed using an integrated fixture. In the communicated low-band, input return loss is higher than 8.5 dB. The proposed VCO, without the need of any off-chip device, is well suitable for the networking integration of wireless systems.

Abstract-This paper shows the design of a reduced size system that drives local oscillator (LO) signal generated by a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) in the transceiver system, which is based on I and Q architecture. The aim of this work is to obtain a small system capable to drive two differential mixers and one phase locked loop block with high power efficiency. The entire system drives two differential outputs to their respective mixers with a minimum differential LO power of −1 dBm and a maximum of 0 dBm between 56.5 and 60 GHz. The system furnishes −7 dBm to the PLL, allowing the control of the carrier. The output ports are matched at 50 Ω and they achieve a reflection loss under 10 dB in the whole band of interest. The power consumption of the entire system is 58 mW. The size including RF and DC pads is 0.6 × 0.7 mm 2 .

“…The simulation is made by Cadence Spectre in CHRT 0.18mm CMOS mixed signal/RF process. Compared with the previous CMOS voltage-mode mixers [7 -9] and current-mode mixers [5,6,10] at the similar frequency, the mixer simultaneously has lower power dissipation of 3.8mW and much higher linearity of 24.5dbm under the 1.2 V supply voltage.…”

In order to decrease the power dissipation and supply voltage, a current mode up-conversion mixer for RF transmitter is proposed in this paper. Different from the traditional Gilbert structure, the mixer replaces the transconductance stage with current mirrors. This method can bring enough conversion gain and high linearity. The way of current bleeding is also adopted here to improve the performance. The simulation is made by Cadence Spectre in CHRT 0.18mm CMOS mixed signal/RF process. The simulation results indicate that the mixer achieves 24.5dBm third-order input intercept point (IIP3), 5dB conversion gain and 14.9dB SSB noise figure while its power dissipation is only 3.8mW under 1.2 V supply voltage. It is especially suitable for low power mobile communication.
