A sub-harmonic mixer comprising a mixer circuit with input ports for RF and LO signals, and an output port for the product of the signals at the input ports, and an LO switching stage with input ports for an LO signal and the LO signal phase shifted 180 degrees. The LO switching stage comprises a third input port to which the output port of the mixer circuit is connected and a first output port for the product of the signal at its third and first input ports, and a second output port for the product of the signal at the third and second input ports with the same amplitude as the first output signal 180 degrees phase shifted. In the sub-harmonic mixer the mixer circuit comprises a transconductance mixer. |
