摘要
A RF mixer with both low noise and high linearity is designed,operating at 2.45-GHz ISM band for RFID application.The designed mixer uses an optimal input matching network and the carefully chosen sizes of transistors,also with the appropriate bias point,to improve the noise figure(NF).Also,with a resonant LC loop as the current source and a parallel PMOS-resistor as the load,the mixer has a high linearity.The post simulation results show that the single side- band noise figure of 8.57 dB,conversion gain of 10.02 dB,input 1-dB compression point(P-1dB)of-8.33 dBm,and input third-order intercept point(IIP3)of 5.35 dBm.
