Abstract
A down-conversion mixer includes a transconductance unit, a resonant unit and a mixing unit. The transconductance unit converts a differential input voltage signal pair into a differential input current signal pair. The resonant unit provides a negative resistance and a differential auxiliary current signal pair. The mixing unit mixes a combination of the differential input current signal pair and the differential auxiliary current signal pair with a differential oscillatory voltage signal pair to generate a differential mixed voltage signal pair.
