Title:
ミキサ回路および方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009519643
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A receiver circuit (10) is disclosed comprising: a low-noise amplifier circuit (12); a mixer circuit (14); and a capacitive coupling circuit (16) comprising matched capacitive coupling circuits. In one aspect, the mixer circuit has a transconductance g m of 50 to 200, the capacitive coupling having a capacitance C of 0.5 to 10 pF to couple an output radio frequency, RF, signal of the low-noise amplifier circuit into inputs of the mixer circuit, wherein ÉC > g m . In another aspect, the capacitive coupling circuit (16) comprises matched capacitive coupling circuits having a capacitor sized for a voltage drop of about 25 mV at room temperature such that sensitivity of the mixer circuit to imbalances in transconductance gains g m is reduced. In a further aspect, it is disclosed a receiver circuit (10) comprising a single-ended low-noise amplifier circuit (12); a quadrature mixer circuit (14) having a first and a second input; and a capacitive coupling circuit (16) that splits the single-ended output signal from the low-noise amplifier circuit into a first signal applied to the first quadrature mixer input, and a second signal applied to the second quadrature mixer input.
