1 Advanced RFIC Design ELEN359A, Lecture 3: Gilbert Cell Mixers Instructor: Dr. Allen A Sweet
2 All of Design is the Art and Science of Navigating Tradeoffs Science gives us the tools to understand what nature, in the form of the laws of physics, will allow us to do and not to do. Tradeoffs are the points where we as designers must make decisions. The Art of design is the process by which we make good decisions given numerous factors such as economics, market acceptance, cost of development, competitive pressures, etc.
3 Basic Non Linear Process Produces Mixer Action Active Device Non Linearity is Expressed as a Power Series relating the device s Voltage and Current: I(t) = I0 + k1v + k2v*2 + k3v*3 + If V = V1 + V2 (two input signals), the second order term becomes: k2(v1*2 + V1V2 + V2*2). It is the V1V2 product term that produces mixing action because if V1 and V2 are sin waves, their produce, (v1cosw1t)x(v2cosw2t) = (v1v2/2)[cos(w1-w2)t + cos(w1+w2)t] contain the sum and difference mixing Frequencies.

18 Single Balance Bipolar Transistor Multiplying Mixer Topology Q1 collector current Controls Transconductance Vi = Vl x Vr
19 Advantages of a Single Balanced Bipolar Transistor Multiplier High Conversion Gain (5 to 10 db) High L to R Isolation (but not high L to I Isolation). Low LO power Requirement (-10 to 0 dbm). IIP3 is higher than the LO power level. Low DC Power, Small size
20 Double Balanced (Gilbert Cell) Bipolar Transistor Mixer
21 Advantages of a Gilbert Cell Transistor Mixer All Three ports are differential, which is a natural configuration for creating Quadrature Phase Modulators and Detectors. L to R, L to I Isolations are excellent. All the Advantages of the Single Balanced Transistor Mixer are available in this case.

71 Home Work #2:A Down Converting Mixer for Wi-Fi Design a Down Converting Gilbert Cell Mixer for B (RF_freq=2400 MHz). This mixer will down convert received Wi-Fi signals to an IF frequency of 850 MHz where a cellular/pcs receiver will process them. Conversion gain is to be at least 10 db. As part of the design, an integral HPF (designed per lecture 2) in front of the mixer will reduce PCS interference at 1800 MHz by at least 20 db. LO_pwr=-10 dbm, Vcc=+5.0 volts, Ic=10 ma max. All transformers are off chip.
72 Home Work #3: Advanced Wi-Fi Mixer Simulate the three isolations, the three matches, P-1dB compressed power, upper and lower OIP3, and the large signal noise figure for the mixer you designed in home work #2. Layout your Wi-Fi mixer using Knowledge On design rules. All three radio frequency ports (RF, LO, and IF) are to be pairs of standard bonding pads, spaced by 150 microns (c-c) which can be bonded to three off chip transformers. A 7 th pad is Vcc. Keep your layout as square as possible.
