This paper describes a 1.5–4.5 GHz CMOS wideband mixer that operates from a single supply of 350 mV, allowing direct powering from various energy harvesting sources. The key techniques adopted for low power and low voltage operation are: (1) complementary transconductance stage in folded topology an...
