    摘要: A transconductance-enhancing passive frequency mixer comprises a transconductance amplification stage, a frequency mixing stage, and an output transresistance amplifier. The transconductance amplification stage has a pre-amplification transconductance-enhancing structure, so that the transconductance is greatly enhanced, thereby obtaining the same transconductance value at a lower bias current. A radio-frequency current is modulated by the frequency mixing stage to generate an output mid-frequency current signal. The mid-frequency current signal passes through the transresistance amplifier, to form voltage output, and finally obtain a mid-frequency voltage signal. The transresistance amplifier has a transconductance-enhancing structure, thereby further reducing input impedance, and improving current utilization efficiency and port isolation. The frequency mixer has the characteristics of low power consumption, high conversion gain, good port isolation, and the like.

    摘要: A stochastic time-digital converter (STDC) including an input switching circuit, an STDC array, and an encoder. A clock circuit inputs two clock signals into two input terminals of the input switching circuit; the input switching circuit transmits the two clock signals in a cyclic cross-transposition form to two input terminals of the STDC array, and simultaneously outputs a trigger control signal to the encoder; each comparator in the STDC array independently judges the speeds of the two clock signals and sends the judgement results to the encoder for collection and processing; and the encoder outputs the size and positivity or negativity of the phase difference of the two clock signals. The technical solution utilizes the stochastic characteristic of the STDC to double the number of the equivalent comparators in the STDC array, eliminating the effects on the circuitry of device mismatching and processes, power supply voltage, and temperature.

    摘要: A return-type current-reuse mixer having a transconductance/amplification stage, a mixing stage, and a high-pass and a low-pass filter network. The transconductance/amplification stage has a current-reuse CMOS topology wherein an input frequency signal is converted into a frequency current, low-frequency components are removed from the frequency current by the high-pass filter network, the frequency current is fed into the mixing stage, modulation occurs in the mixing stage, and then an intermediate-frequency signal is generated and output. Once high-frequency components are removed from the intermediate-frequency signal by the low-pass filter network, the intermediate-frequency signal is sent again for input into the transconductance/amplification stage, then amplified in the transconductance/amplification stage and output. The mixer transconductance/amplification stage employs a current-reuse technique. The input frequency and the output intermediate-frequency signal share a common transconductance/amplification stage. The mixer reduces power consumption, simplifies the circuit topology, and provides high conversion gain.
