Ultra-Low-Voltage CMOS-Based Current Bleeding Mixer with High LO-RF Isolation

This journal presents an ultra-low-voltage current bleeding mixer with high LO-RF port-to-port isolation, implemented on 0.13 μm standard CMOS technology for ZigBee application. The architecture compliments a modified current bleeding topology, consisting of NMOS-based current bleeding transistor, P...
