More specifically:
1) the analysis of noise performance improvement, which is to qualitatively analyze the structure of the traditional Gilbert mixer with the introduced inductor shown in fig. 3, can obtain that the input reference noise voltage of the mixer is:
wherein, gmiIs MiTransconductance of (C)pIs the parasitic capacitance at node P, RLTo output a load, In,M1And Vn,M2Is a transistor M1And M2K is the boltzmann constant and T is the thermodynamic temperature;
as can be seen from the above equation, the conversion gain of the mixer follows the parasitic capacitance CpAnd thus the input reference noise becomes large, when the operating frequency is raised to millimeterThe effect of parasitic capacitances in the mixer becomes more severe at the band, resulting in greater RF current leakage between stages and overall noise performance degradation.
In order to overcome the above disadvantages, the present invention adopts a transformer-coupled cascode (TCCT) mixer, and analyzes the transformer stub coupling unit of the core in fig. 1, and after adopting the noise reduction transformer structure, the input reference noise voltage corresponding to the operating center frequency is:
