ABSTRACT:
A low power mixer with improved linearity performance. The mixer includes first and second active baluns coupled to a Schottky diode ring. Each of the active baluns includes a complementary differential Schottky switch driver which enables the Schottky diode ring-quad to be switched with full tail current which provides relatively better linearity performance per dc power consumption than known Schottky diode double balanced mixers with active baluns.
