Rejection of local oscillator alias response is provided in a mixing
circuit by (1) a switching mixer producing an output that changes at
least twice between two states (e.g., high-low-high or low-high-low)
during each local oscillator period, and (2) a charge integrator
integrating current output from the switching mixer over the local
oscillator period. The switching mixer and charge integrator produce a
sampled data format, double sideband signal with serial cancellation of
the switching mixer's alias responses. An extension unit connected in
series with the switching mixer and charge integrator, and implementing a
transform function computing a difference between consecutive samples,
produces a cascading effect with the switching mixer and charge
integrator, optionally producing additional nulls suppressing alias
response at frequencies near the local oscillator frequency. A harmonic
gating circuit between the switching mixer and charge integrator,
controlled at a multiple of the local oscillator frequency, suppresses
harmonic responses of the switching mixer.
