A feed-forward device is provided for a mixer including a diplexer having
a radio frequency port, an intermediate frequency port, and a common
port; and a mixing circuit receiving an in-phase local oscillator signal
and an out-of-phase local oscillator signal and having an output coupled
to the common port of the diplexer. The feed-forward device includes: a
first signal sampler having an input adapted to sample the in-phase local
oscillator signal and to output a sampled in-phase local oscillator
signal; a second signal sampler having an input adapted to sample the
out-of-phase local oscillator signal and to output a sampled out-of-phase
local oscillator signal; and an arrangement for coupling the sampled
in-phase local oscillator signal and the sampled out-of-phase local
oscillator signal to the common port of the diplexer.
