  • Publication number: 20020058492
    Abstract: An image reject mixer arrangement 1 comprises a transconductor 2, first and second mixer cores 3 and 4, first and second phase shifters 5 and 6 and a summer or combiner 7. The mixer arrangement 1 receives a single-ended RF voltage signal on a terminal 8, a differential local oscillator signal on I-LO terminals indicated at 9 and a 90° phase shifted differential local oscillator signal on Q-LO terminals 10, and provides differential IF output signals on output terminals 11. From the output of the transconductor 2 to the output of the combiner 7, the image reject mixer arrangement 1 carries signals in what can be described as a “current mode”, i.e. it is the current, not the voltage, which conveys the desired signal. In this current mode, it is advantageous to provide each active circuit block with a high output impedance and a low input impedance wherever possible.
