Abstract :
In this work, a cascade-type gate mixer employing TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS technology was developed for application to marine disaster early warning system. The proposed gate mixer showed good RF performances. Concretely, the mixer exhibited a conversion gain of 9 dB and P1dB of 0 dBm. Especially, it showed a very low LO input power of -7 dBm due to the optimum bias design.
