Abstract
A mixer circuit which is improved in distortion characteristic and band characteristic and can assure impedance matching with another circuit at a preceding stage readily and besides can prevent abnormal oscillations. The mixer circuit comprises a differential amplifier constituted from a pair of transistors grounded at the emitters thereof, and a double balanced mixer constituted from first and second pairs of transistors. A first impedance element is interposed between a junction between the emitters of the first pair of transistors of the double balanced mixer and the collector of one of the pair of transistors of the differential amplifier, and a second impedance element is interposed between a junction between the emitters of the second pair of transistors of the double balanced mixer and the collector of the other of the pair of transistors of the differential amplifier.
