  • Abstract
    A compact 5.2 GHz upconversion micromixer using the 0.35 μm SiGe HBT technology is demonstrated. A bandpass and area-saving LC current mirror using the active inductor is incorporated to increase the conversion gain. The demonstrated upconverter has conversion gain of -3.5 dB, OP1dB of -10 dBm, and OIP3 of 0 dBm.
