  • Abstract
    DSRC provides high speed radio link between Road Side Equipment and On-Board Equipment within the narrow communication area. In this paper, a 5.8 GHz down-conversion mixer for DSRC communication system is designed and fabricated using 0.8 ¿m SiGe HBT process technology and RF/LO matching circuits, RF/LO input balun circuits and IF output balun circuit are all integrated on chip. The measured performance is 7.5 dB conversion gain, ¿2.5 dBm input IP3, 46 dB LO to RF isolation, 56 dB LO to IF isolation, current consumption of 21 mA for 3.0 V supply voltage and the chip size of fabricated mixer is 1.9 mm × 1.3 mm.
