LO-), to realize mixer action, switch metal-oxide-semiconductor output end is connected to trans-impedance amplifier 106, is converted into intermediate frequency output voltage IF,
Realize the mixing function of receiver.
Radio-frequency antenna or wire cable are connected directly to the primary coil of transformer 101, it is not necessary to extra AC coupled
Electric capacity.Primary coil other end is connected to ground terminal GND.In general RF inputs can realize good impedance matching, no
Extra match circuit is needed again, but according to application demand, can also be concatenated RLC elements and be formed impedance matching circuit on plate.
Transformer both ends can also connect differential input signal, and the present invention is not limited.
In the specific embodiment of the invention, transformer 101 is 5 port devices, as shown in Figure 3.The connection of its port 1 and 2 is just
Level coil inductance, port 3 and 4 connect secondary inductance, and port 5 is secondary coil center tap terminal, is connected to ground terminal GND,
Electric pathway of the direct current to ground is provided for circuit.In addition, port 3 and 4 is respectively the in-phase end and end of oppisite phase of transformer, with respect to port
1 has identical mutual inductance factor M and opposite phase (180 ° of phase difference).Also mutual inductance between port 3 and port 4 be present, mutual inductance because
Sub- M '.Transformer and secondary coil can have a variety of different turn ratios (or number of turns ratio) 1：N, transformer master,
Secondary impedance changes square directly proportional, the i.e. Z of speed and turn ratio3,4And Z1,2Resistance between finger tip mouth 3,4 and port 1,2 respectively
It is anti-.Turn ratio is bigger, shows that the impedance transformation speed of transformer primary and secondary coil is bigger.
Because radio frequency mouth RF is usually 50 Ω normal impedances, to realize input resistant matching, in the primary coil of transformer
End needs to meet
Z1,2=50 Ω
The secondary coil of transformer also needs to meet impedance matching condition：
Wherein gM1,2For first the second NMOS tubes of NMOS tube M1/ M2 mutual conductance.It can be seen that transformer turn ratio is bigger, impedance turns
Change than higher, to realize the g of impedance matching needsM1,2Can be smaller.Due to transistor gmIt is directly proportional with the electric current of consumption, therefore work(

Close electric capacity C2 and grid of the extra signal path to mutual conductance pipe the first NMOS tube the second NMOS tubes of M1/ M2 is provided, mutual conductance can be improved
The current utilization rate of pipe, 2 times of mutual conductance is provided under same current.First the second biasing resistors of biasing resistor R1/ R2 is connected to
First bias voltage Vbn ends, DC offset voltage is provided for mutual conductance pipe M1/M2.
Because effective mutual conductance doubles, mutual conductance pipe the first NMOS tube the second NMOS tubes of M1/ M2 thermal noise contribution reduces
Half.
Further, because the mutual inductance of transformer secondary coil port 3 and 4 acts on, the first NMOS tube of mutual conductance pipe M1/ the
Two NMOS tube M2 noise contribution can realize an extra counteracting path, for turn ratio 1：1 transformer, the contribution of mutual conductance pipe
Noise coefficient be about 0.2 γ, and common common grid input structure mutual conductance pipe noise contribution be γ, therefore in the same electric current of consumption
In the case of noise coefficient be reduced.
Due to no longer needing to use tail current source or tail inductance to carry out direct current biasing to common grid input pipe, simplify and designed
Journey, save chip area.The noise contribution of tail current source or tail inductance is eliminated simultaneously.
The relatively conventional common source input structure of common grid input structure that the present invention uses can provide the more preferable linearity.
In addition, to realize gain-adjusted function, thus it is possible to vary the size of mutual conductance pipe, or in the first differential voltage node
P1/ the second differential voltage node P2 end parallel connection attenuation networks.Gain-adjusted should keep port Impedance to match.
The part of common source amplifying circuit 103 is not on the premise of electric current is increased in Fig. 1, there is provided extra mutual conductance.Therefore always across
