Provided is a direct-conversion frequency mixer for down converting a radio frequency (RF) signal into a baseband signal, in which a single phase RF signal and a quadrature location oscillation (quadrature LO) signal are used to generate the baseband signal, the frequency mixer comprising a first frequency mixing unit that uses quadrature LO signals having respective phases of 0 degrees and 180 degrees to directly down-convert the single phase RF signal into the in-phase baseband signal, and a second frequency mixing unit that uses quadrature LO signals having respective phases of 90 degrees and 270 degrees to directly down-convert the single phase RF signal into the quadrature-phase baseband signal, whereby drains and sources of the transistor for receiving the quadrature LO signal and the transistor for receiving the RF signal are connected in common, thus enabling low power source voltage driving.
