Abstract

This chapter deals with the design of up-conversion mixers for application in mmW transmitters. First, the operation principles, figures of merit and common implementations for mmW mixers are presented. Then, the principles of I/Q modulation are reviewed, and some common architectures are discussed. Afterwards, design examples of a 16-21-GHz I/Q upconverter and an E-band upconverter are given. These circuits are basic building blocks of double-conversion wideband mmW transmitters, and they are designed to meet the requirements of the wideband BiCMOS integrated transmitter described throughout this book.

Vorheriges Kapitel Design Methodology for BiCMOS Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits

Nächstes Kapitel Design of High-Linearity Wideband Power Amplifiers

This circuit is not manufactured stand-alone but integrated together with a PA as it is described in Chap. 9. However, the test results of that circuit with the mixer and the PA validate the accuracy of all the simulation results presented in this chapter.
