Description

Broadband up-conversion mixer
Technical Field
The present invention relates to microelectronics, and more particularly, to a broadband upconversion mixer.
Background
With the wide application of wireless communication, communication technology is developed to be compatible with multiple communication standards and meet the trend of multiple frequency bands, and radio frequency transceivers are also developed to be multi-band and multi-standard, which puts higher requirements on the operating bandwidth of the radio frequency transceivers. In addition, to meet the requirement of high data transmission rate, more advanced frequency modulation techniques are required, which all require high linearity of the radio frequency transceiver. The radio frequency front end is an extremely important part of a radio frequency transceiver system, and the mixer is used as a key module of the radio frequency front end and plays an important role in the radio frequency front end, so that the performance of the mixer directly influences the performance of the whole transmitter front end system and influences the quality of information transmission.
In a transmitter, the signal-to-noise ratio is a key index for ensuring signal transmission, and the signal-to-noise ratio requires that the amplitude of an input signal of an up-conversion mixer is large enough; secondly, in the direct upconversion transmitter, the local oscillator leakage is a non-negligible problem, measures need to be taken to suppress the local oscillator leakage in order to ensure the quality of the transmitted signal, and the generation of the direct current offset needs to be suppressed because the direct current offset at the input end of the upconversion mixer can cause the local oscillator leakage at the output end of the upconversion mixer. Whether the signal-to-noise ratio is improved or the direct current offset is suppressed, the amplitude of the input signal of the up-conversion mixer is required to be large enough. However, as the amplitude of the input signal increases, the linearity of the up-conversion mixer will deteriorate, so it is necessary to find a design method that can suppress dc offset without deteriorating the linearity.
