FREQUENCY CONVERSION CIRCUIT AND METHOD FOR MILLIMETER WAVE RADIO

摘要

A frequency upconversion circuit in a millimeter wave radio transmitter uses a low frequency synthesizer (38) and a parallel frequency mixing and multiplication network for converting a low frequency signal to a millimeter wave radio frequency (RF) signal. A frequency downconversion circuit in a millimeter wave radio receiver uses a low frequency synthesizer (62) and a parallel frequency mixing and multiplication network for converting a millimeter wave RF signal to a low frequency signal.
