  • Abstract
    This paper reports an original design methodology for low voltage high performances Gilbert mixers in the DCS range. We present for the first time a real BiCMOS structure featuring +10.6 dB conversion gain, +6.7 dBm TP3, 10.3 DSB noise figure under a 2.2 V supply voltage, which is among the best results ever reported.
