Abstract :
This paper presents a new approach to mixer linearization using the post-distortion technique. A practical prototype was designed implemented and characterized with a two tone test. The validity of this approach was verified experimentally and the results state this technique as a simple and viable solution for mixer linearization ready for chip integration.
