A sub-harmonic mixer and a down converter with the sub-harmonic mixer are
provided. The sub-harmonic mixer includes a differential amplifying unit,
a current buffer unit, and a switching unit. The differential amplifying
unit is used to amplify a radio frequency (RF) signal and employs a first
resonance circuit to force a leakage signal to flow to a first voltage.
The current buffer unit is used to amplify the gain of an output signal
of the differential amplifying unit and employs a second resonance
circuit to force the leakage signal to flow to a second voltage. Finally,
the switching unit switches an output signal of the current buffer unit
into a base band signal.
