Fundamental performance limits and scaling of a CMOS passive double-balanced mixer
TL;DR: It is shown that as CMOS process technology evolves, the double-balanced passive mixer architecture will become more favorable and yield improved performance.
Multi-carrier single-DAC transmitter approach applied to digital cable television
TL;DR: This research work analyzes and realizes a new approach of replacing this analog front-end in the transmitter by digital signal processing that upsamples, combines and upconverts the carriers, followed by a single DAC that generates the RF signal without further upconversion.
Highly linear attenuator and mixer for wide band TOR in CMOS
TL;DR: In this article, a highly linear passive attenuator and mixer were designed to be used in a wide-band Transmission Observation Receiver (TOR), which is a low IF receiver that accepts RF frequencies from 2GHz to 7GHz, and produces corresponding IF bandwidths of 280MHz to 990MHz using low side LO injection.
