The mixers are coupled to the LNA and the transformer-based IQ generator to receive and mix the RF signals amplified by the LNA with the differential LOI and LOQ signals to generate an in-phase RF (RFI) signal and a quadrature RF (RFQ) signal. The downconverter is to down convert the RFI signal and the RFQ signal into IF signals.
