Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention proposes a noise-cancelling passive mixer, belonging to the field of mixer technology. Background Technology

[0002] In radio frequency (RF) receiving systems, the mixer is responsible for converting RF signals to baseband or intermediate frequency (IF) bands. It is a core module in the receiving link, acting as the link between RF and IF signals, and its power consumption accounts for a considerable portion of the total power consumption in the receiving link. Therefore, optimizing the mixer's power consumption is crucial for achieving low power consumption in the overall receiving circuit. Furthermore, the mixer needs to have sufficiently high conversion gain and a low noise figure.

[0003] To meet these requirements, the Mixer-First RF front-end structure has been proposed and applied in recent years. The main idea of ​​the Mixer-First structure is to eliminate the low-noise amplifier module, first converting the RF signal to a low-IF band before subsequent processing. Since processing signals in the RF band consumes a lot of power, while processing low-IF signals requires less power, this structure can effectively reduce power consumption while improving linearity. However, due to the lack of RF gain, the gain and noise performance of the Mixer-First structure receiver front-end are difficult to meet specifications. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Figure 1 This is a circuit diagram of a preferred example of a noise-cancelling passive mixer according to the present invention.

[0021] Figure 2 The simulation results of the noise figure of the noise-cancelling passive mixer of the present invention in the low-power mode with transconductance stage cancellation and the high-performance mode with noise cancellation are shown.

[0022] Figure 3 The simulation results of the conversion gain of the noise-cancelling passive mixer of the present invention in the low-power mode with transconductance stage cancellation and the high-performance mode with noise cancellation are shown. Detailed Implementation

[0023] A noise-cancelling passive mixer includes an RF transconductance stage circuit, a mixer switching stage circuit, and a transimpedance amplifier stage circuit; wherein:

[0024] The RF transconductance stage employs a CMOS complementary push-pull structure circuit. The RF signal is coupled to the NMOS and PMOS transistors of the CMOS transconductance stage via capacitors, which helps to increase the equivalent transconductance and reduce the noise figure. Both transistors operate in the subthreshold region using low supply voltage and current multiplexing techniques to meet low power consumption requirements.

[0025] The mixer switching stage employs two passive, single-balanced down-converter parallel circuits. The current generated by the down-conversion in the auxiliary branch has the opposite polarity to the current in the main branch, causing the N and P outputs in the two branches to be cross-superimposed in reverse, thus ensuring that the main signal is not canceled or weakened. At the same time, the noise of the transconductance stage is negatively fed back to the input through a loop, and is out of phase with the equivalent input noise of the transconductance stage, thereby achieving noise cancellation.

[0026] To suppress the DC offset voltage caused by self-mixing, a parallel negative feedback circuit is introduced in the transimpedance amplifier stage. A feedback resistor and capacitor are connected in parallel across the input and output terminals of the transimpedance amplifier stage.

[0027] This mixer employs a passive structure, resulting in better linearity and lower power consumption. Furthermore, it utilizes a noise cancellation circuit with dual downmixing parallel branches. In high-performance mode, both branches conduct in parallel, and the noise cancellation network optimizes the noise figure and improves the conversion gain for the input RF signal.

[0028] The core of this noise-cancelling passive mixer is a noise-cancelling Mixer-First circuit structure with dual down-conversion paths, featuring both low-gain and high-performance modes. In high-performance mode, the two branches conduct in parallel, canceling noise signals and superimposing the main signal, achieving low power consumption while optimizing the circuit's noise figure and conversion gain. In the auxiliary branch, lacking the transconductance stage found in the main branch, the down-conversion current has the opposite polarity to the current in the main branch, causing the N and P outputs of the two branches to be out of phase and cross-superimposed, thus ensuring that the main signal is not canceled or weakened. The noise from the transconductance stage in the main branch is negatively fed back to the input via a loop, out of phase with the equivalent input noise of the transconductance stage, thereby achieving noise cancellation.

The input RF voltage signal is converted into a current signal by the transconductance amplifier stage in the main branch, and then capacitively coupled to a four-way quadrature passive mixer for down-conversion, generating I and Q differential intermediate frequency (IF) signals. Simultaneously, the four-way quadrature passive mixer in the auxiliary branch directly down-converts the signal to generate I and Q differential IF signals. Because the transconductance stage's inverter-like structure inverts the signal once, the circuit design ensures that the IF signals generated by the two branches at the down-mixer output port are cross-superimposed in opposite directions, achieving noise cancellation while preventing signal attenuation. The noise cancellation passive mixer circuit proposed in this invention optimizes the noise figure of the link while meeting low power consumption requirements, effectively alleviating the contradiction between low power consumption, noise figure, and gain in the Mixer-First structure.
