Title: Mixer Gain
Post by nxing on Sep 20^th, 2007, 9:59pm

Hello everybody,

I have a question about the mixer gain. Say in a Gilbert mixer as a down-converter mixer. I have noticed that when the load increases, the current goes to the load actually decrease whill the RF current after the transconductance stage is still the same. I am wondering where does the current go?

Thanks!
