Design of high gain low power down conversion mixer used for wireless LAN applications

This paper aims at design of high gain and low power down conversion mixer operates at 2.5GHz. The proposed mixer generate Intermediate frequency (IF) signal of 100MHz from 2.4GHz Radio Frequency signal and 2.3GHz Local oscillator frequency. The simulation result shows that the third order input intercept point of −35.8806 dBm and the power consumption of 6.501mW. A comparison is made and shows that proposed mixer design has low power consumption and good conversion gain and can be used for 2.4GHz wireless communication.
