2. Direct-Conversion Receiver Architecture
3. The Contenders Passive Mixers
Pros
high linearity
low power
Cons
conversion loss
LO to RF feed-through
may need LO buffer to drive switches
Active Mixers
Pros
conversion gain
good isolation between ports
may add VGA capabilities
Cons
consumes power
may need LO buffer
may need common-mode feedback
