class-AB common-gate transformer-based low-noise transconductor amplifier (LNTA) is
used to provide high linearity and harmonic filtering. A resonant passive mixer is adopted in
order to allow the current-mode operation and improve the harmonic rejection. A low-power
divider with intrinsic 25% duty-cycle is introduced to drive the passive mixer. A second-order
Rauch biquad with complex poles makes-up the IQ blocker tolerant baseband. The receiver …
