Abstract:
A mixer having at least one path from a voltage supply to a ground node wherein each path of the at least one path includes no more than two transistors comprising:a first transistor having a gate, source, and drain wherein the source is connected to the voltage supply and the gate is connected to the drain are connected to an output node; and a second transistor having a gate, source, and drain wherein the drain is connected to the output node, the source is connected to the ground node, and the gate of the second transistor receives a positive phase of a first signal and a positive phase of a second signal; a third transistor having a gate, source, and drain wherein the drain is connected to the output node, the source is connected to the ground node, and the gate receives a negative phase of the first signal and a negative phase of the second signal.
