摘要: A SSB (single sideband) mixer is configured to mix a first signal with a second signal, both the first signal and the second signal being a four-phase signal, and comprises eight gated inverters, each receiving a respective phase of the first signal and conditionally outputting a respective current in accordance with a control of a respective phase of the second signal, wherein currents output from the eight gated inverters are summed to establish a third signal that is a two-phase signal.

摘要: An integrated circuit that selectively filters out common-mode and differential signals is described. This integrated circuit may include an RF receiver with a mixer that converts signals between a band of frequencies in the RF and a second band of frequencies based at least in part on second signals, where the second band of frequencies is less than the band of frequencies. Moreover, the mixer may include input ports that receive the second signals and include a filter circuit, electrically coupled in parallel with the input ports, that filters out the common-mode signals above a threshold frequency and filters out the differential signals below the threshold frequency. For example, the filter circuit may include a half-wavelength transmission line. Note that the mixer may convert the differential signals to the common-mode signals below the threshold frequency and may convert the common-mode signals to the differential signals above the threshold frequency.

摘要: One or more systems, devices and/or methods of use provided herein relate to a device that can support a signal generation. A current-mode end-to-end signal path can include a digital to analog converter (DAC) operating in current-mode and an upconverting mixer, operating in current-mode and operatively coupled to the DAC. Analog inputs and outputs of the DAC and upconverting mixer can be represented as currents, and the DAC can generate a baseband signal. The DAC and upconverting mixer each can comprise switching transistors of the same type, such as p-type metal-oxide semiconductor (PMOS) switching transistors. In one or more embodiments, a current source and a diode-connected transistor can be arranged in parallel in the current-mode signal path, and the current source passes a static current, while the diode-connected transistor passes both a static current and a dynamic current.
