Abstract:
A passive, differential RF mixer reduces second order intermodulation interference while maintaining I/Q isolation via common mode feedback wherein the I and Q error signals in the feedback path are time multiplexing using a four-phase LO signal. An RF signal is received at a differential input having a center tap. The RF signal is mixed with an in-phase differential signal of the four-phase local oscillator signal in a differential mixer (I mixer). The RF signal is also mixed with a quadrature-phase differential signal Q components of the four-phase local oscillator signal in a differential mixer (Q mixer). The common mode levels of the I and Q differential mixer outputs are compared to a reference DC voltage to generate I and Q error signals. The I and Q error signals are time-multiplexed, and fed back to the RF input center tap.
