Abstract:
An RF receiving apparatus and method which can remove a leakage component in a received signal are provided. In the RF receiving apparatus, a noise removing unit estimates a signal corresponding to a noise component introduced into a received RF signal RXIN by controlling a gain and a phase of a local signal LOI and removes the estimated noise signal from the received RF signal RXIN. An RF signal in which the noise is removed is frequency-down converted in a receiving unit. Also, the noise removing unit utilizes a Q signal of the local signal LOI, LOQ, to control the phase of the local signal LOI.

Abstract:
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.
