A mixer is designed to operate from a low voltage power source connected via a power terminal and ground and includes a balanced mixer circuit with a balanced input port for receiving local oscillator signals, and a pair of input terminals. A biasing circuit includes, an active voltage divider connected between the power terminal and ground to provide higher and lower voltages at first and second voltage taps. A differential driver circuit includes first and second transistors, collectors of which are each direct coupled to separate ones of the pair of input terminals. The first transistor has a base coupled via a capacitor to a single ended receive signal terminal, and an emitter coupled via a first resistor to ground. The second transistor has a base coupled via a capacitor to grounds, and an emitter coupled via a second resistor to the single ended receive signal terminal. The single ended receive signal terminal is also coupled with ground via an impedance element, in one example third resistor. A fourth resistor is connected between the first voltage tap and the base of the second transistor and, a fifth resistor is connected between the second voltage tap and the base electrode of the first transistor.
