A 5 GHz 0.18 µm CMOS Mixer for 802.11a WLAN Receiver Applications

This article presents a 5.7 GHz CMOS single-balanced mixer for an IEEE 802.11a WLAN receiver application. The RF input frequency of the mixer is 5.725 to 5.825 GHz, the LO frequency is 5.445 to 5.545 GHz and the IF is 280 MHz. The mixer is fabricated w...
Due to the fast growing demand for broadband wireless communications, the operating frequency band is moving toward the 5 GHz U-NII band. The advantage of combining baseband and the RF front-end on a single chip for cost savings is strongly desired for highly integrated systems-on-chip (SoC) applications. Due to...
