Method and system for configurable active/passive mixer and shared GM stage

摘要

Aspects of a method and system for configurable Active/Passive Mixer and Shared GM Stage may include configuring an RF mixer in frequency demodulator to operate in an active mode or a passive mode. An in-phase (I) processing path and a quadrature (Q) processing path of the RF mixer may utilize a single shared GM stage. One or more switches may be activated to enable the active mode or the passive mode of operation for the RF mixer.
