摘要:
A linear mixer circuit with a current amplifier has an excellent linearity by using RF open-load and an improved current amplifier. Therefore, a voltage-current converting stage and a current-voltage converting stage in a conventional mixer circuit can be omitted. Further, by using the RF open-load and the current amplifier together, a current type input signal can be transmitted as it is, and non-linearity due to the voltage-current converting stage and the current-voltage converting stage can be prevented. Furthermore, bias current of the amplifying stage and the switching stage can be separated by using the RF open-load, so that an image frequency can be filtered by the RF open-load.

An integrated circuit having integrated inductors includes at least one pair of transistors, and at least one inductor group which includes a pair of inductors coupled to the at least one pair of the transistor, respectively. The pair of the inductors form a spiral shape on a plane and the inductors arranged symmetrically to each other. Magnetic fluxes, which are generated by current flows along the inductors of the at least one inductor group, are formed in a direction to mutually intensify the magnetic fluxes according to differential signals applied to the at least one transistors from outside. Accordingly, high inductance and high quality factor can be attained owing to the positive magnetic coupling of the inductors.
