The present invention discloses a low power supply voltage double-conversion radio frequency receiving front end, which can work at a lower power supply voltage in a passive frequency conversion mode; a first frequency conversion unit and a second frequency conversion unit of the front end are directly cascaded, and a second orthogonal passive frequency conversion shifts a low input impedance of a transimpedance amplifier to an intermediate frequency, so as to construct a band-pass filtering function for radio frequency current; and the radio frequency current which has undergone two frequency conversions is converted into an output intermediate frequency voltage via the transimpedance amplifier. Compared with the traditional active+active or active+passive double conversion mode, the present invention omits intermediate-stage active circuits and filtering circuits, thereby saving power consumption and layout area, and realizing sufficient rejection on an image signal while ensuring a high conversion gain.
