Abstract
A quadrature downconverter with 4GHz IF bandwidth and working over the 0.5–20GHz RF frequency range has been designed, fabricated, and tested. The downconverter uses a frequency doubling and dividing scheme to generate quadrature local oscillator signals from 0.5–17GHz and a pair of Gilbert-cell mixers to perform downconversion. When the IF outputs are combined with a commercial quadrature hybrid, the mixer achieves an image rejection ratio greater than 35dB over the entire band with no on-chip calibration or tuning. The active die area is approximately 0.5 x 1 mm^2.
