Abstract
This paper presents a simplified system of feedforward mixer which can be applied to digital mobile communication. The complexity of the proposed system is reduced from the two-loop structure originally proposed in the modified feedforward system to a single loop only. Compared with a single mixer, two-tone measurement results at 2.0 and 2.0001 GHz demonstrates up to 33 dB IM3 distortion reduction. The spectrum of a downconverted 900 MHz 16-QAM signal to 70 MHz IF using the proposed system illustrated improves a mixer linearity.
