A new very low-voltage, low-power CMOS RF mixer

A new very low power RF mixer is introduced. The proposed mixer is based on two techniques: A CMOS transistor pair is applied to the four cross-coupled commutating transistor (the first technique), and current boosted technique, as described in the paper. The CMOS mixer is simulated in 0.18 mum CMOS...

Description
Summary:A new very low power RF mixer is introduced. The proposed mixer is based on two techniques: A CMOS transistor pair is applied to the four cross-coupled commutating transistor (the first technique), and current boosted technique, as described in the paper. The CMOS mixer is simulated in 0.18 mum CMOS technology. The mixer has an input signal of 0.2 V and operates on a single 3.3 V supply with transistor threshold voltages of 0.57 V for all NMOS transistors and - 0.52 V for all PMOS transistors, and has a power dissipation of 2.66 mW.
