Design and analysis of an ultrawide-band distributed CMOS mixer.

This paper presents the design and analysis of a novel distributed CMOS mixer for ultrawide-band (UWB) receivers. To achieve the UWB RF frequency range required for the UWB communications, the proposed mixer incorporates artificial inductance-capacitance (LC) delay lines in radio frequency (RF), loc...
