ABSTRACT:
A mixer for use in a transceiver comprises an LO switching pair and a folded transconductor. The mixer can be used as an upconversion or down conversion mixer and provides increased headroom and linearity, while still reducing current consumption. The mixer can be configured for differential inputs and outputs and the folded transconductor can comprises a MOSFET differential pair.
