Quadrature mixer is based on Gilbert cells and consists of two double-balanced mixers converting RF frequency to a low intermediate frequency (IF). An external phase shifter is used for RF signal phase conversion. An external resonant circuit is applied to adjust the input matching and the component values are selected according to an operating subband.
The block is fabricated on iHP SiGe BiCMOS 0.25 um (SGB25V) technology.
