    Abstract: The device for frequency transposition implements the corresponding method for the reduction of residual of local oscillator signal in the output signal in a structure of differential Gilbert type, and includes biasing transistors (T1, T2) of output stage of differential transconductor block by subordinating the differential of emitter or source currents of transistors to a current (10) of predetermined common mode. The differential subordination is realized by relooping the emitters or sources and the bases or gates of transistors (T1,T2) of output stage, and by setting the current of common mode by the application of a reference voltage to the connected bases or gates of transistors (T3,T4) of input stage of differential amplifier with transconductance. The application of reference voltage to the bases or gates of transistors (T3,T4) is realized by use of a reference current source (SC) and a reference resistance (R3), mutually connected to a current mirror with transistors (T10,T11), where the base or gate of one transistor (T10) is connected to the bases of transistors (T3,T4) of differential amplifier. The transistors (T3,T4) are biased by a current (IE) generated by the reference current source (SC). The device for the frequency transposition comprises a differential transconductor block (BTC) for the conversion of input signal to a current differential having an input stage with transistors (T1,T2) and means for biasing the transistors, and a current switching circuit (BCC) controlled by a local oscillator connected between the output stage of transconductor circuit and the output terminal of the device. The biasing resistors (R1) are connected between the ground and the emitters or sources of transistors (T1,T2) of output stage. In a variant of the device, the transconductor block comprises an input stage with two transistors, an output stage also with two transistors, and an intermediate stage with four transistors; the collectors or drains of transistors (T3,T4) of differential amplifier are connected to the electrodes of transistors of input stage of transconductor block. The means for current generation in common mode comprise a low-pass filter (FL) of resistive-capacitive type, connected between the emitters or sources of transistors (T3,T4) and those of transistors (T1,T2). The voltage source comprises a constant current source (SC), and a reference resistance (R3) connected between the ground and the current mirror. The subordination means also comprise a current mirror with transistors (T5,T6,T7) connected between the reference current source (SC) and the collectors or drains of transistors (T3,T4) of output stage. A celullar mobile telephone comprises a device for frequency transposition of the proposed type.

    Abstract: The method subjects the product of static collector current (1c) and the emitter resistance (RE) to a predetermined reference voltage (Vref) whose value is equal, within a tolerance, to 13 mV at the temperature of 27 degrees C. The reference voltage is delivered by a generator (GT) of type proportional to the absolute temperature. It is observed that this reference voltage allows for an extremely large value of point of interception of order 3 (IIP3) and provides very good linearity. The electronic device implementing the method comprises an input receiving a signal (+Vin), a coupling capacitor (C), a bipolar transistor (BIP) functioning in class A, the emitter resistor (RE), the reference voltage generator (GT), and an enslave loop (MAS) connected between the emitter and the base of the bipolar transistor for subjecting the product of the collector current and the emitter resistance to the reference voltage. The output impedance of the enslave loop (MAS) is high with respect to the impedance viewed from the base of the transistor, for example 100 times higher. The gain of the enslave loop (MAS) at the frequency of useful signal and at the frequency difference (delta)f between two tones in an intermodulation test is small compared to unity, for example equal to 1/100. The enslave loop (MAS) comprises a differential amplifier, that is a comparator (CMP) whose first input is connected to the emitter of the transistor, the second input to the reference voltage generator, and whose output is connected to the gate of a MOS transistor (T). The MOS transistor (T) is connected between the supply voltage (Vdd) and the base of the bipolar transistor. The device is implemented in the form of an integrated circuit. A distant terminal in a wireless communication system, in particular mobile telephone, incorporates the radio-frequency reception stage comprising the device as claimed.

    Abstract: The circuit has two inputs receiving respective signal components of a RF differential signal. The respective inputs are connected to an emitter and a base of a bipolar transistor (31) such that a collector of the transistor generates in the output, a current proportional to the difference of the components. The transistor is biased in order to discharge an emitter current sufficient for permitting linear conversion of the signal. An independent claim is also included for a RF signal transmission circuit comprising a differential to non differential signal conversion circuit in a communication system.
