A Complementary Ring Mixer Driven by a Single-Ended LO in 22-nm FD-SOI CMOS for K and Ka-Bands
This article presents a double-balanced up-conversion ring mixer based on complementary switches operating at millimeter-wave frequencies.Complementary-switching relieves the mixer from the need for a differential Local-Oscillator (LO) signal, simplifying the design and improving the circuit performance.A prototype, capable of operation between 18
