ABSTRACT:
A circuit array for frequency translation by means of quadrature heterodyne signals has very low quadrature errors even at very high frequencies and is monolithically integratable with little external circuitry. The circuit array includes a first mixer which receives a first portion of an input signal, a second mixer which receives a second portion of the input signal, and a heterodyne signal generator which receives a local oscillator signal and supplies quadrature heterodyne signals to the mixers. The heterodyne signal generator includes a control loop to ensure a 90.degree. phase shift between the quadrature heterodyne signals. The circuit array can be used in a modulator for a transmitter or in a demodulator for a receiver.
