mm-wave CMOS mixer design in 65 nm technology for 60 GHz wireless communications

2009

This paper describes the design of a double balanced mixer known as a Gilbert cell mixer. The proposed design, which operates at a radiofrequency (RF) of 1.9 GHz, is implemented in 0.18 μm CMOS technology at a supply voltage of 1.8 V. The components values and the size of CMOS transistors used to achieve a better linearity while keeping a good conversion gain are calculated. The obtained results show a third order input intercept point (IIP3) and an 1-dB compression point in the order of 10.5 dBm and -2 dBm, respectively when the conversion gain roughly equal to 9.12 dB. These performances justify the good linearity of the mixer compared to those using an inductive degeneration or active loads like P-channel MOS. Key words: Mixer, Gilbert cell, degeneration resistor, conversion gain, linearity.

Implementation and Analysis of Ultra Low Power 2.4 GHz RF CMOS Double Balanced Down Conversion Subthreshold Mixer

Microelectronics, Electromagnetics and Telecommunications, Volume 372, Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering, pp 485-495, 2015

This paper discusses the design of a 2.4 GHz operated, ultra-low power CMOS down-converting active mixer based on double balanced Gilbert-cell resistor-loaded topology fabricated in standard 180 nm RF CMOS low-power technology. All the MOS transistors of the mixer core have ideally been biased to sub-threshold region. Consuming only 500 μW of DC power using 1.0 V supply and minimal LO power of −16 dBm, this mixer demonstrates a simulated power conversion gain of 17.2 dB with Double Side Band (DSB) noise figure of 13.3 dB. With the same DC power dissipation and LO power, −11.7 dBm IIP3 and −20.1 dBm 1-dB point have been obtained as discussed in the paper. Pre-layout and post layout simulation results match very well. The ultra-low power consumption of the proposed mixer due to subthreshold region of operation and lower local oscillator power are the advantages of this subthreshold mixer.

Parametric Performance Analysisof RF Mixer

International Journal of Advanced Research in Electrical, Electronics and Instrumentation Energy, 2013

This paper focuses on the design of radio-frequency (RF) mixers and their performance analysis, including a broad-band down converter mixer, an up converter mixer and a down converter mixer with high linearity. The basic mixer topology used in this report was the Gilbert cell mixer, which is the most popular active mixer topology used in modern communication systems. First, a broadband down converter mixer with variable conversion gain is designed using 0.350μm CMOS technology. The mixer worked from MHz to GHz, Frequency By changing the effective transistor size of the transconductor and the load, the mixer is able to work in three different modes with different conversion gain and power consumption. Second, an up and down converter mixer with sideband selection
