This work describes a fully integrated active mixer designed in 0.18µm CMOS technology for 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band applications. The mixer uses a source driven local oscillator (LO) to integrate the RF-LO buffering with the active mixer, and weakly inverted input MOSFET...
