Abstract :
This paper demonstrates a push-pull self-oscillating mixer (SOM) for wireless communications at 900 MHz. Both up-conversion and down-conversion experiments are reported using this SOM. The conversion gain of the circuit is /spl ges//spl plusmn/15 dB, IP3 of -3 dBm, SFDR of 102 dB.Hz/sup 2/3/, and an average power consumption of /spl ap/37 mW.
