Single side band mixer and local oscillator having the same

摘要

A single side band (SSB) mixer includes an in-phase SSB mixer unit and a quadrature-phase SSB mixer unit. The in-phase SSB mixer unit generates an in-phase output current, and includes a first transformer load in which a portion of a quadrature-phase output current flows. The quadrature-phase SSB mixer unit generates the quadrature-phase output current, and includes a second transformer load in which a portion of the in-phase output current flows. The SSB mixer may be used in a wide frequency band without degrading frequency selectivity.
