This paper presents an ultra low voltage down conversion CMOS mixer. To facilitate low-voltage operation, the mixer employs a folded Gilbert cell topology with PMOS devices for LO switches. The folded topology allows the transconductance and LO stages to have different bias current. Current bleeding technique has been used to improve the conversion gain, NF and the linearity due to the higher RF stage...
