A frequency-converting circuit and a down converter with the
frequency-converting circuit are disclosed. The above-mentioned
frequency-converting circuit is used for converting an RF signal into a
first baseband signal according to a poly-phase LO signal. The
frequency-converting circuit includes a coupler, a first transduction
unit and a first switching unit. The coupler is for receiving and
splitting the RF signal and delivering a first RF signal via the first
output terminal thereof. The first transduction unit is for amplifying
the first RF signal. The first switching unit is for performing switching
operations on the output signal of the first transduction unit and
producing the first baseband signal.
