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.

Offset Loopback Test For IC RF Transceivers
Jerzy Dabrowski,Rashad Ramzan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an offset loopback test setup for integrated RF transceivers (TRx's) is developed, where the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) share one frequency synthesizer (called VCO modulating TRx's), which makes use of an extra mixer put on chip to compensate for the incompatibility of the Tx and Rx.
