Abstract
In this paper a model is presented to predict RF mixer conversion gain as a function of the Local Oscillator (LO) drive level and DC bias, for a transconductance modulated mixer. From this, the possibility to trade-off LO RF power and DC bias to achieve a desired conversion gain is identified. Analytical model results, simulation results and measured data from a hardware prototype are presented.
