ZERO IF DOWN CONVERTER WITH EVEN ORDER HARMONIC SUPPRESSION

摘要

An embodiment is directed to a zero IF down converter circuit. The circuit comprises a voltage-to-current converter, a mixer, and a suppression circuit. The voltage-to-current converter converts an RF voltage signal to an RF current signal. The mixer changes the frequency of the current signal to a lower frequency current signal. The suppression circuit removes a lower frequency distortion component from the RF current signal before sending the RF current signal to the mixer.
