초록

In this paper, dual-gate mixer has been designed and optimized to have variable conversion gain for WiBro and WLAN applications and to save power. With the LO power of 0dBm and RF power of -50dBm, the mixer shows 15dB conversion gain. When RF power increases from -50dBm to -20dBm, the conversion gain decreases to -2dB with bias change. The variable conversion gain can reduce the high dynamic range requirement of AGC burden at IF stage. Also, it can save the dc power dissipation of mixer up to 90%.
