Abstract :
This paper proposes a highly linear doubly-balanced mixer for gigahertz applications. Merits of the proposed folded-cascode BiCMOS mixer in comparison to prior-art have been made clear through analysis and simulations. The BiCMOS mixer is especially suitable for low-voltage direct-conversion modulator applications
