Abstract
This paper presents a comparison of the image rejection between Gilbert mixer and the passive mixer. A simple model for mixers is set up, and the image rejection performance of passive and Gilbert mixer is analyzed based on it. Simulations and calculations were done to compare the image rejection of the two mixers. The results show that the Gilbert mixer, comparing with the passive one, shows a stronger rejection to the amplitude error of the quadrature signals at its input.
