Abstract :
A highly linear down-conversion mixer in a 65 nm digital CMOS technology is presented. The mixer was fabricated in a tripple-well process which allows to use the bulk of NMOS transistors as inputs. In contrary to other works not the gate but the bulk connector is used for the input signal. A high IIP3 of +18 dBm was achieved with a power consumption of only 0.67 mW from a 1.2 V supply voltage. The mixer has a measured ldB compression point of +7 dBm. The input signal bandwidth lies beyond 2 GHz.
