S. Colomines et al., Low noise bipolar complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor mixer for radio frequency applications, J VAC SCI A, 18(3), 2000, pp. 1002-1005
This article presents a low IF mixer featuring metal-oxide-semiconductor de
vices in the rf and the active load stages for DCS applications which have
been optimized with respect to the supply voltage (2.2 V), current consumpt
ion (<10 mA), gain (10 dB), linearity (IIP3 = 8.5 dBm), and noise (DSB Nf =
13 dB at 100 kHz). Special attention has been paid to the identification o
f the noise mechanisms. (C) 2000 American Vacuum Society. [S0734-2101(00)02
