    Abstract: In a variable gain amplifier, a base of a bipolar first transistor receives a first differential input signal. The emitter of the first transistor is connected in series between a first resistor and a MOSFET coupled to ground. An output of the amplifier is a current through the collector. The conductivity of the MOSFET controls a gain of the amplifier. A bipolar second transistor receives a second differential input signal, and the second transistor provides a modulated gate voltage to the MOSFET. The drain voltage of the MOSFET is modulated by the first differential input signal and thus undesirably generates distortion. To reduce the distortion, the modulated gate voltage causes the AC component for a certain DC voltage at the drain of the MOSFET to be lowered, improving linearity. Since no current source is used, the amplifier has a large headroom, allowing operation using a low operating voltage.

    Abstract: A poly-phase filter receives inphase input signals I and Ī and quadrature input signals Q and Q, and provides inphase output signals Iout and Iout and quadrature output signals Qout and Qout. The capacitance of each variable capacitor connected to the terminals providing inphase output signals Iout and Iout is and the capacitance of each variable capacitor connected to the terminals providing quadrature output signals Qout and Qout, are different in value, and preferably by twice a predetermined value. This is because adjustment to the capacitance values may be made to each set of variable capacitors by the predetermined value.

    Abstract: A single-balanced balun mixer circuit includes a balun with a center tap connected to a differential pair with a tail resistor. The balun receives a first input signal and a second signal at the single-ended input terminal and the center tap, respectively. Such a balun mixer may be used as an up-converter mixer by supplying a baseband or intermediate signal at the center tap and a local oscillator (LO) signal at the single-ended input terminal.
