Abstract

See full text

Mixer structures are described which include a current mirror for insertion of trickle currents to an input differential amplifier and an output interface for coupling an output differential amplifier to an output port. The current mirror trickle currents improve the mixer's conversion gain and third-order intercept point and the current mirror introduces them without introducing spurious signals. The output interface couples mixer currents to the output port while isolating the output port from power-supply spurious signals.
