Abstract
A frequency conversion circuit comprises an input stage composed of one or more transistors, the input stage outputting a current corresponding to a voltage-type RF signal which is input to the gate of the transistor; a frequency conversion stage receiving an LO signal, causing the output RF signal to transit by the frequency of the LO signal so as to output an IF signal, and detecting an output voltage of the IF signal; a bleeding transistor connected to the input stage, supplying a current corresponding to a DC voltage, applied to a gate-source stage thereof, as a bleeding current to the transistor of the input stage, and in an AC manner, operating complementarily with the input stage to control a current flowing in the frequency conversion stage; a common mode feedback circuit comparing an output voltage provided from the frequency conversion stage with a preset reference voltage, adjusting the output voltage such that the output voltage is equalized to the reference voltage, and directly feeding the adjusted output voltage to the bleeding transistor; and a load stage composed of resistors and distributing a power supply voltage to apply to the frequency conversion stage.
