This invention is about the direct conversion receiver. It is excellent
the receiving sensitivity that DC off-set, matching characteristics of
the relationship of I/Q circuits and noise characteristics are improved.
In order to achieve this purpose, the direct conversion receiver uses
vertical bipolar junction transistor available in standard triple-well
CMOS technology in the switching element of mixer and base-band analog
circuits. Furthermore, as using the passive mixer in the other practical
example of this invention, this invention controls the occurrence of l/f
noise. As using the vertical bipolar junction transistor available in
standard triple-well CMOS in the base-band analog circuits, this
invention realizes the direct conversion receiver that DC off-set,
matching characteristics of the relationship of I/Q circuit and noise
characteristics are improved.
