Abstract
A 5.7 GHz GaInP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) sub-harmonic Gilbert downconversion mixer with octet-phase LO generator is demonstrated. The conversion gain is 15 dB, IP1dB is -13 dBm, IIP3 is 0 dBm, and IIP2 is 24 dBm when the LO power equals 3 dBm. The measured IF quadrature output waveforms indicate that the phase difference between the in-phase and quadrature-phase output channels is only 1.3°.
