Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) mixing circuit including a quadrature mixer that receives non-overlapping in-phase and quadrature local oscillator (LO) signals, and a plurality of low noise amplifiers (LNAs) operatively connected to the quadrature mixer, the plurality of LNAs presenting an input impedance at a baseband. A first voltage at an input node of the quadrature mixer is equal to a second voltage across the impedance up-converted to a frequency of a LO signal received by the quadrature mixer. The second voltage across the LNA input impedance includes a frequency of an input signal of the quadrature mixer down-converted by a frequency of the in-phase and quadrature LO signals and filtered by the impedance. The quadrature mixer down-converts an input signal by a frequency of the in-phase and quadrature LO signals and transfers the noise cancelled impedance to a RF to achieve a noise cancelled match.
