“…Introduction: A down-conversion mixer which converts the RF signals to the IF signals is an essential component of the wireless communication systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The Gilbert-cell mixer with the advantages of good conversion gain (CG) and superior spur rejection in a compact size is widely used in modern CMOS transceiver integration circuits [1][2][3][4]. Nonetheless, the standard Gilbert-cell mixer requires highvoltage supply and high-dc-power consumption due to its stacked transistors topology [1][2][3][4].…”

“…The Gilbert-cell mixer with the advantages of good conversion gain (CG) and superior spur rejection in a compact size is widely used in modern CMOS transceiver integration circuits [1][2][3][4]. Nonetheless, the standard Gilbert-cell mixer requires highvoltage supply and high-dc-power consumption due to its stacked transistors topology [1][2][3][4]. Alternatively, the passive resistive ring mixer structure becomes a good candidate for low power applications due to its advantages of zero-dc-power consumption, broad bandwidth, and high linearity [7].…”

An ultra-low-LO (local oscillator)-power X-band down-conversion ring mixer in 0.18-μm CMOS process is presented. By using the weak-inversion biasing technique, the proposed X-band ring mixer exhibits low-dc-power consumption and low-LO-drive power while maintaining a reasonable conversion gain (CG). The measurement results show that the proposed mixer demonstrates a maximum CG of 1.75 dB with ultra-low-LO-power of −8 dBm at RF of 12 GHz and IF of 100 MHz. The dc power is only 2 mW. The 3-dB RF bandwidth is from 9 to 15 GHz and the output 1-dB compression point (OP 1 dB) is −14 dBm.
