Conversion Matrix Analysis for High RF Selectivity CMOS Mixer Circuits
Seminar given by Tom McKay from Global Foundries, CA, USA, next Wednesday at 3:00 p.m., April 22nd, in Shannon seminar room.
Abstract: The capacitor-terminated quadrature passive mixer recently proposed for blocker-tolerant band-select SAW-less RF receiver front-ends emulates a high Q parallel RLC impedance around the LO frequency. However, critical second order effects such as side-band asymmetry must be addressed to maximize utility. The conversion matrix method is developed and applied to this system, extending insight and generality, complementing recently published analytic work.
