A dynamic current steering mixer. The dynamic current steering mixer comprises a Gilbert cell mixer core, a pair of load devices, a dynamic current steering cell, and a transconductor cell. The Gilbert cell mixer core has first and second nodes, receives a first differential input signal, and provides a differential output signal at the first nodes thereof. The load devices are respectively coupled between the first nodes of the Gilbert cell mixer core and a first fixed voltage. The dynamic current steering cell has third nodes coupled to the second nodes and fourth nodes. The transconductor cell is coupled between the fourth nodes and a second fixed voltage and receives a second differential input signal. The dynamic current steering cell alternately steers current of the transconductor cell to or away from the Gilbert cell mixer core.

A reflection-type phase shifter is provided. The reflection-type phase shifter has a coupler, a first reflection load, and a second reflection load. The coupler has an input port for receiving an input signal and an isolated port for outputting an output signal due to a first reflected signal at a through port and a second reflected signal at a coupled port. The first reflection load reflects the first fraction of the input signal to thereby generate the first reflected signal. The second reflection load reflects the second fraction of the input signal to thereby generate the second reflected signal. In addition, at least one of the first and second reflection loads is equivalent to a transmission line.

A distributed amplifier is disclosed herein, which includes a signal amplification unit amplifying a RF input signal fed into the RF signal, a first biasing circuit providing a direct current (DC) bias signal, a second biasing circuit providing a DC bias signal, the variable terminal resistance providing an adjustable resistance, a RF signal input terminal provided for input of the RF input signal and a RF signal output terminal for output of a RF output signal. The output RF signal from the distributed amplifier is obtained from a gained version of the input RF signal. Since a load mismatch issue is compensated, a gain flatness issue is considerably improved and thus a gain-adjustable range is increased with respect to the distributed amplifier.

A temperature compensated oscillation circuit capable of providing a stable frequency output over temperature is provided, in which an oscillator with a crystal resonator is arranged to generate an oscillation signal with an output frequency, and a temperature sensor provides a temperature compensation voltage of which a function is linear with respect to an ambient temperature of the oscillator. A first accumulation mode MOS varactor is coupled to the oscillator, and the first accumulation mode MOS varactor adjusts a capacitance thereof in response to the temperature compensation voltage, such that the coupled oscillator has a frequency compensation over temperature for the oscillation signal, wherein the frequency compensation substantially varies as an inverse function of a deviation of the crystal resonator over temperature when the ambient temperature is within a predetermined temperature range.
