CSE598A Analog Mixed Signal CMOS Chip Design Realize Gilbert Mixer by CMOS Technologies Why Gilbert Cell? Advantages: (1) Both LO and RF are balanced, providing both LO and RF Rejection at the IF output. (2) All ports of the mixer are inherently isolated from each other. (3)Increased linearity compared to singly balanced. (4)Improved suppression of spurious products (all even order products of the LO and/or the RF are suppressed). (8)High intercept points.
