System and method for a mixer |
摘要 |
In accordance with an embodiment, a circuit includes a mixer having a signal input port, a local oscillator input port and an output port, a lowpass filter circuit having an input coupled to the output port of the mixer and a terminal configured to be connected to a shunt capacitor, and a difference circuit having a first input coupled to the output port of the mixer, and a second input coupled to an output of the lowpass filter. The output of the difference circuit substantially rejects a DC signal component at the output port of the mixer. |

1. A circuit comprising:
a mixer comprising a signal input port, a local oscillator input port and an output port, wherein the output port of the mixer comprises a current mode output; a first current steering circuit and a second current steering circuit, wherein the first and second current steering circuit each comprises a first positive current source, a first negative current source, and an output, and for each of the current steering circuits:
the first positive current source is coupled in series with the first negative current source, wherein
the first positive current source is configured to provide a positive current based on a positive output of a mixer,the first negative current source is configured to provide a negative current based on a negative output of the mixer, andan output current at the output of each current steering circuit is a sum of the first positive current source and the first negative current source; a lowpass filter circuit having an input coupled to the output of the second current steering circuit and a terminal configured to be connected to a shunt capacitor; and a difference circuit having a first input coupled to the output of the first current steering circuit and a second input coupled to the output of the second current steering circuit and an output of the lowpass filter circuit, wherein an output of the difference circuit substantially rejects a DC signal component at the output port of the mixer. |
