A single-ended wideband downeonversion Gilbert micromixer is demonstrated in this paper using 0.35-um SiGe BiCMOS technology. Because of the wideband matching property of the micromixer, it can perform broad frequency translation. The TIA is utilized in the IF stage while a broadband Marchand balun is employed not only to generate differential LO signals but also to reserve the wideband operation of the mixer. This singleended wideband mixer has the conversion gain of 15 dB, IP(1dB) of 17 dBm, and IIP(3) of -6.5 dBm and works from 3.5 to 14.5 GHz. The input return loss is below -14 dB and the chip size is 1x1 mm(2).

This paper demonstrates a low-voltage wideband downconverter along with an integrated transformer RF balun using the 2-mu m GaInP/GaAs HBT technology. This transformer is a symmetric type and plays a role as a single-to-differential balun. Without the parasitics between the transformer and the substrate, the transformer can work at higher frequencies. This transformer downconverter operates from 1.5 GHz to 14 GHz with around 20-dB conversion gain and 1.8-GHz IF 3-dB bandwidth. The frequency range of the mixing operation is wide and covers the digital video broadcasting via satellite (DVB-S) bands. This mixer hence is useful for DVB-S applications. Since there is no dc voltage drop on the transformer, the voltage supply of the mixer core is only 2.4 V and the current consumption is approximately 8.6 mA. The chip size of the entire mixer is 1 mm x 1 mm while the transformer occupies the estate of 150 mu m x 150 mu m.

A 15.5-dB conversion gain 0.35-mu m SiGe HBT Gilbert mixer with the lumped-element Marchand balun for 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz UWB applications is implemented using standard silicon processes. This mixer has the 1.5-GHz IF 3-dB bandwidth as well as the 15.8-dB noise figure. The balun size is only 0.25 mm x 0.5 mm. Because of the balanced structure of the Marchand balun, the magnitude imbalance and phase difference of outputs are below 1 dB and about 184 degrees, respectively. In the present of a lossy substrate, the dissipated loss of the balun is still less than 4 dB thanks to the advantage of the lumped-element technique. The total current consumption of the entire mixer is 13.9 mA at 5 V voltage supply while the chip size including probing pads is 1 mm x 0.9 mm.

A triple-band (2.4, 5.2, and 5.7 GHz) CMFB downconversion micromixer with a low-voltage cascode current mirror RF input stage has been demonstrated by the 0.18-mu m CMOS technology in this letter. Micromixer has a single-ended RF input stage, the CMFB topology is adopted to improve the conversion gain, and a differential-to-single output buffer is used to convert the differential output of the mixer into a single-ended output. The fully integrated downconversion micromixer has the conversion gain of 12 dB, LO-to-IF isolation of 43 dB, LO-to-RF isolation of 48 dB, and RF-to-IF isolation of 18 dB at 2.4 GHz. The mixer has the conversion gain of 7.5 dB, LO-to-IF isolation of 54 dB, LO-to-RF isolation of 49.5 dB, and RF-to-IF isolation of 25 dB at 5.7 GHz. The total quiescent current consumption of the circuit is 7.6 mA. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A single-ended wideband downconversion Gilbert micromixer is demonstrated in this paper using 0.35-mu m SiGe BiCMOS technology. A transimpedance amplifier with resistive feedback is utilized in the IF stage while a broadband Marchand balun is employed to generate wideband differential local oscillator signals. The planar Marchand balun topology employed in this paper can generate truly balanced signals even in the presence of the lossy low-resistivity (similar to 10 Omega (.) cm) silicon substrate. A systematic approach to measure the frequency response of each individual stage in a Gilbert mixer is developed in this paper. This single-ended wideband mixer has the conversion gain of 15 dB, IP1dB of -19 dBm, IIP3 of -7 dBm, and the noise figure of 13 dB. The mixer works from 3.5 to 14.5 GHz.

A downconversion micromixer with low-voltage cascode current mirrors at both transconductor and load stages has been implemented using the 0.18-mu m CMOS technology in this article. This micromixer has a single-to-differential RF input transconductor formed by the NMOS wide-swing cascade current mirror, while the PMOS wide-swing cascode current mirror is also employed to improve conversion gain. A super source follower is used at the output to reduce the output impedance and to transfer more power to the load. This fully integrated downconverter has the high conversion gain of 16 dB and high LO-to-IF isolation of 50 dB at 7 GHz. The current consumption of the mixer core is 1 mA at 1.8 V supply voltage. Thanks to the low-voltage operation property of the wide-swing cascode current mirror, six transistors can be stacked within 1.8 V supply voltage. (c) 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This paper realized a broadband uniplanar phase-inverter rat-race coupler using a standard silicon process, and then analyzed this coupler under a lossy condition. A phase inverter is employed in this coupler, not only to extend the operation bandwidth, but also to generate balanced outputs by providing equal lossy paths, while symmetrical spiral-shaped coplanar striplines (CPSs) are also utilized to shrink the coupler size, as well as to construct a phase inverter in the middle of one of spiral CPSs. The lossy CPS, when designed as a distortionless line, has a real characteristic impedance, and thus, perfect port matching of the coupler can be achieved at the center frequency. The operation frequency of this silicon monolithic rat-race coupler with the size of 0.5 mm(2) is extremely wide and ranges from 5 to 23 GHz. The dissipated loss, transmission coefficient, and isolation of the rat-race coupler are approximately 5.5, -8, and below -25 dB, respectively. In addition, a wideband Gilbert micromixer with an integrated uniplanar phase-inverter rat-race coupler at the local oscillator port is demonstrated using 0.35-mu m SiGe BiCMOS technology. This mixer works from 2.5 to 13 GHz with 12-dB conversion gain, -16-dBm IP(1) (dB), -4-dBm IIP(3), and 14-dB noise figure. The chip size of the mixer with an integrated coupler is approximately 1.4 mm x 1.4 mm.
