The SSB mixer is an essential component in the transceiver. Besides, Variable gain amplifiers (VGAs) can adjust the amplitude of each transmitter/receiver chain for reducing the side lobes. The single sideband up-conversion mixer can convert IF frequency with LO frequency to the wanted RF frequency.The first circuit is a 19 GHz Single-Sideband Mixer. A single sideband (SSB) up-conversion mixer with high sideband suppression (SBS) is presented on 65-nm CMOS technology. Utilizing a high impedance transmission line LO matching network and a 2-stage castle-wall polyphase filter (PPF), the SSB up-conversion mixer achieves high SBS. The measured conversion gain of the mixer is -20.3±1.5 dB from 15 to 31GHz via 3 dBm LO power. The SSB up-conversion mixer achieves broad SBS (>30 dBc) from RF frequency 13 to 23 GHz with the fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 55.5%. In addition, the SBS of the mixer is better than 55 dBc for RF frequencies from 18.5 to 20.2 GHz and IF frequencies from 2.8 to 5.7 GHz. The size of the chip is 885μm × 800μm. The second circuit is a 19 GHz VGA on 65-nm CMOS process. A body-biased digital current-steering topology is proposed to enlarge the gain control range (GCR) of the VGA under low supply voltage. The proposed VGA achieves a small-signal gain of 22.38 dB at 19 GHz with a 3-dB gain bandwidth from 15.7 to 23.3 GHz. The measured RMS amplitude error is less than 0.5 dB with a GCR of 9.98 dB at 19 GHz. The dc power consumption is 18mW and the chip size is 825μm×550μm.單邊帶混頻器邊帶抑制度可變增益放大器電流控制架構基極偏壓架構Single sideband Mixer (SSB Mixer)Sideband Suppression (SBS)Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA)Body-Biased digital Current Steeringnone19 GHz 單邊帶混頻器與可變增益放大器設計Design of 19-GHz Single-Sideband Mixer and Variable Gain Amplifieretd
