Abstract

A harmonic rejection mixer has been designed for DVB-T reception in VHFIII frequency band. It exhibits 21.3 dB noise figure, 29 dBm input IP3, and 67 dBm input IP2 over the 48-300 MHz frequency range. The third and fifth harmonics are suppressed by more than 60 dB thanks to phase error calibration.The 0.39 mm² active die is fabricated in 40-GHz f_τ Bi-CMOS process consuming 38 mA from a 3.3 V supply including the LO chain.
