Abstract

A high gain and low-power down conversion mixer for short range wireless applications is designed in 0.18 μm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. During the design, we have adopted current-bleeding technique and a folded Gilbert topology. The mixer is tested at two frequencies e.g., 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz. Simulation results revealed that under 1.8 V power supply, the proposed mixer achieves considerable conversion gain (CG) by consuming only 0.93 mW DC power with around 65 dBm radio frequency-local oscillator (RF-LO) leakage.
