Embodiment Construction

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and beneficial effect of the invention clearer, the specific implementation manner of the invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Compared with the traditional Gilbert active mixer described in the background art, the flicker noise of the switching tube can be reduced, the gain can be improved, and at the same time, it is convenient for low-voltage implementation.

[0049] The technique for achieving the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is mainly to reduce the flicker noise of the mixer by reducing the current flowing through the switch tube, and at the same time use the current to generate the input transconductance, which is beneficial to increase the gain and further improve the noise performance of the mixer .

[0050] A low flicker noise, high gain Gilbert active mixer provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with s...

Abstract

The invention discloses an active mixer with low-frequency flicker noise and a high-gain characteristic. In the prior art, a traditional Gilbert active mixer has the problems that flicker noise is loud, and compromise of noise and gain exists, so that the traditional Gilbert active mixer cannot meet the requirement of a present receiver to a high-performance mixer, especially to zero intermediate frequency receivers and low intermediate frequency receivers. Aiming at the defects, the active mixer with low-frequency flicker noise and the high-gain characteristic reduces the mixer flicker noise by reducing direct current which flows through a traditional Gilbert active mixer switch pipe, and by the adoption of input transconductance generated by the current, the contradictory problem that the flicker noise and the gain exist in traditional active mixer performance optimization is solved, so that the high-performance active mixer which is low in flicker noise and high in gain is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of frequency mixing, in particular to an active mixer with low flicker noise (1 / f noise) and high gain performance. Background technique [0002] The demand for portable wireless communication systems such as wireless local area network (LAN), wireless multimedia and home wireless control systems has grown significantly in recent years. With the scaling down of CMOS process feature size and the continuous improvement of circuit technology, more and more high-performance, highly integrated radio frequency chips (RFICs) have emerged, and these chips have been widely used. [0003] The receiver architecture mainly includes three architectures: superheterodyne, zero-IF, and low-IF. Now, with technological progress and integration requirements, the most mainstream receiver architecture is zero-IF architecture. figure 1 Represents a general zero-IF receiver block diagram. The zero-IF receiver is also called a direct-conv...
