A circuit comprising: a first passive mixer (21) having mixer inputs configured to receive in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) differential signals; and a first differential sub-circuit (31). The first passive mixer is configured to switch the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) differential signals to the first differential sub-circuit at a mixing frequency. The first differential sub-circuit (31) has a pair of differential inputs configured to receive the switched in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) differential signals from the first passive mixer (21), each input having a capacitance capable of storing a charge that depends on the switched in-phase or quadrature-phase signals. The circuit further comprises a charge canceller configured to supply, to at least one of: the mixer inputs; and the pair of differential inputs, an opposite charge compared with a charge that has been stored on the pair of differential inputs by the operation of the first passive mixer. |
