To improve the NF of the double-balanced mixer, instead of the traditional RF dierential transconductance stage using two transistors and a current source, an inductive-parallel-feedback common- source transistor is used. T he receiver front- end dissipates 24.12 mW and exhibits a CG of 14.83 1.94 dB for frequencies 21 ~ 27 GHz and an NF of 5.96 ~ 6.86 dB for frequencies 21~25.4 GHz. In addition, excellent isolation is also achieved. The measured LO-IF, RF-IF and LO-RF isolation is -39.7 ~ -48.76 dB, -20.27 ~ -31.15 dB and -60.45 ~ -72.75 dB, respectively, for frequencies 15 ~ 30 GHz. The measured input 1 dB compression point (P1dB) and input third-order compression point (IIP3) are -24 and - 13.3 dBm, respectively.
