This article reports a novel differential-folded mixer with multiple-feedback techniques for performance enhancement. Specifically, we introduce the capacitor cross-coupled (CCC) common-gate (CG) transconductance stage to improve the noise figure (NF) at low power by boosting the effective transcond...
