Abstract:
A passive mixer includes a transconductance amplifier having a source degeneration capacitance. The transconductance amplifier has an input for receiving an input signal and an output for outputting a current signal. A multiplier is provided for mixing a local oscillator signal with the current signal so as to provide an output signal at an output of the passive mixer. A capacitive load is connected to the output of the passive mixer.
