SYMMETRICAL RESISTIVE HARMONIC REJECTION MIXER (HRM)
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communications that support downconversion of signals with improved harmonic rejection. In a first aspect, an apparatus includes a first plurality of mixers with each mixer coupled to two oscillating signals that are 180 degrees apart in phase; a second plurality of mixers with each mixer coupled to two oscillating signals that are 180 degrees apart in phase, wherein a combined load of the first plurality of mixers and the second plurality of mixers on the plurality of oscillating signals is symmetric as to each oscillating signal of the plurality of oscillating signals; and a shared capacitor coupling the RF input to the first plurality of mixers and the second plurality of mixers. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
