The architecture used is based on Gilbert cell mixer, the combination of MOS transistors and BJT transistor device characteristics. In the proposed topology, the LO series-parallel switch will be applied to reduce supply voltage and dc power consumption for IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b WLAN and UWB system. By using the TSMC 0.35-μm SiGe BiCMOS process technology and TSMC 0.18-μm SiGe BiCMOS process technology design, the mixer under a variety of features has a good performance. The paper proposes a mixer for IEEE802.11a WLAN application. The main advantages for mixer are low-noise, a moderate linearity, conversion gain, and isolation. The simulation results achieved are as follows: 14.1 dB power conversion gain, 0 dBm input third-order intercept point (IIP3), 6.93 dB double side band (DSB)noise figure, LO-RF, LO-IF and RF-IF isolation achieved up to 56 dB, 70 dB and 92 dB, respectively. The total dc power consumption of this mixer including output buffers is 2.31mW. The paper proposes a mixer for IEEE802.11b WLAN application. The main advantages for mixer are high-gain and, a moderate linearity, noise and isolation. The simulation results achieved are as follows: 14.99 dB power conversion gain, 0 dBm input third-order intercept point (IIP3), 7.19 dB double side band (DSB)noise figure, LO-RF, LO-IF and RF-IF isolation achieved up to 52 dB, 91 dB and 98 dB, respectively. The total dc power consumption of this mixer including output buffers is 1.94mW. The paper proposes a mixer for UWB system application. The simulation results achieved are as follows: 13.1~14.3 dB power conversion gain, -5~-4 dBm input third- order intercept point (IIP3), 10.5~ 11.5 dB double side band (DSB)noise figure, LO-RF, LO-IF and RF-IF isolation achieved up to 36~48 dB,70~99 dB and 70~79dB, respectively. The total dc power consumption of this mixer including output buffers is 3.3mW.
