Abstract
An L-band single side band(SSB) mixer with CMOS switches and a C-band quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator(QVCO) have been developed using the TowerJazz 0.18-um RFCMOS process. The SSB mixer exhibits a conversion gain of 6.6 ~ 7.5 dB with a 70-dBc image rejection ratio and 65-dBc port isolation. The oscillation frequency range of the QVCO is 6.2 ~ 6.7 GHz with an output power of 4~6 dBm. For measurement, 1.8 V supply voltage is used while drawing 36 mA for the mixer and 23 mA for the QVCO.
