A quadrature subharmonic mixer comprises a polyphase filter configured to generate quadrature components of a local oscillator (LO) reference signal, a summing and scaling element configured to create additional components of the LO reference signal, and a plurality of mixer elements configured to multiply the quadrature components of the LO reference signal and the additional components of the LO reference signal with a radio frequency (RF) signal to obtain a downconverted version of the RF signal.
