Abstract

The invention discloses an active frequency mixer and an active frequency mixer-based frequency mixing method and belongs to the field of wireless communication transceivers. The active frequency mixer comprises a first stage circuit (1) and a second stage circuit (2), wherein the first stage circuit (1) comprises switch tube units (11, 12); when working at a saturation area, the switch tube units (11, 12) are used for amplifying an input original radiofrequency signal (RF0+ / -) so as to obtain an amplified radiofrequency signal (RF1+ / -); when working at a weak inversion area, the switch tube unit (12) is used for outputting a three order non-linear current and subjecting the amplified radiofrequency signal (RF1+ / -) to linearity adjusting operation so as to obtain an amplified radiofrequency signal (RF2+ / -), and the second stage circuit (2) is used for subjecting the amplified radiofrequency signal (RF2+ / -) and a local oscillator signal (LO+ / -) to frequency mixing operation and load matching operation so as to obtain an intermediate frequency signal (IF+ / -). The active frequency mixer disclosed in the invention is characterized by high gain and high linearity while power consumption and noise performance of the active frequency mixer remain unchanged.
