Abstract
Some of the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a receiver comprising a class AB common-gate transformer-based low noise transconductance amplifier (LNT) configured to receive an electromagnetic signal, a passive resonant mixer electrically connected to (i) an output port of the class AB common-gate transformer-based LNT and (ii) a local oscillator. The passive resonant mixer can be configured to reject at least one harmonic of the local oscillator. The receiver also comprises a base-band module electrically connected to an output port of the passive resonant mixer.
