Fully monolithic single-sideband upconverter mixer with sideband selection

Summary form only given, as follows. An SSB upconverter with sideband selection capability is presented. The mixer operates at an LO frequency of 5 GHz and an IF of 100 MHz, and it produces an upper sideband at 5.1 GHz and a lower sideband at 4.9 GHz. The measured voltage conversion gain is greater than 12 dB, its IP1dB is −12 dBm and its IIP3 is −5 dBm. The OP1dB and OIP3 are 0 dBm and +6.5 dBm, respectively. The chip was fabricated in 130 nm CMOS, it consumes a total of 26 mW of dc power and the chip core measures 0.49 mm².
