“…In the last decade, passive mixers, driven by a non-overlapping 25% duty-cycle pulse, were adopted as the ultimate choice for a high performance receiver as a substitution for Gilbert-cell mixerlike [4]. However, the related frequency generators are power hungry circuits.…”

In this study, a suitable sub‐mW frequency down converter for internet of things is presented. It is based on a single balanced switched transconductance mixer driven by a current‐reuse LC voltage controlled oscillator (LC‐VCO). For cognitive radio demonstration, the frequency converter is implemented with a tunable low‐noise amplifier (LNA) in 0.13 µm standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Post‐layout simulations return a gain conversion of 27 dB with a single‐sideband noise figure of 8 dB (LNA included) for a consumption of 0.97 mW under a voltage supply of 1.2 V and an active area of 0.4 mm2. The stand‐alone LC‐VCO prototype exhibits a measured phase noise of −102 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset while showing −114 dBc/Hz in the post‐layout simulation. The LC‐VCO measured power consumption is only 260 µW from 1 V voltage supply with an active area of 0.173 mm2.
