In one embodiment, the present invention includes a mixer having various stages, including a transconductance stage with a differential transistor pair, a bias circuit, and a feedback circuit. The transistor pair can include a first transistor having a first terminal to receive a first input radio frequency (RF) voltage and to output a first RF current via a second terminal of the first transistor, and a second transistor having a first terminal to receive a second input RF voltage and to output a second RF current via a second terminal of the second transistor. In turn, the bias circuit is coupled to the second terminals of the transistors to provide a bias current to these transistors. The feedback circuit is in turn coupled to the second terminals of the transistors to generate a feedback signal corresponding to a common mode voltage at the second terminals of the transistors.
