A DOWN-CONVERSION MIXER USING 90-NM CMOS PROCESS FOR 60-GHZ APPLICATIONS

摘要

This article proposes a double-balanced 60- to 12-GHz down-conversion mixer fabricated in the 90-nm CMOS process. The proposed mixer has a 5.825 dB measured conversion gain and 13-16 dB noise figure. The input P_(1dB) of the mixer is -4.4 dBm and the measured LO-IF, LO-RF, and RF-IF isolations are above 42, 44, and 41.5 dB, respectively.
