Frequency mixer

Abstract

Provided is a frequency mixer including: an oscillator configured to output an LO signal; a first converter configured to convert an input IF signal into different first and second IF signals; a first mixer configured to output a first RF signal in which the first IF signal is mixed with the LO signal and a first leakage signal; a second mixer configured to output a second RF signal in which the second IF signal is mixed with the LO signal and a second leakage signal; and a second converter configured to mix and attenuate the first and second leakage signals and output an RF signal in which the first and second RF signals are mixed, in order to minimize leakage power of an LO signal generated in a local oscillator in a transmitter for a communication system using a high frequency of 70 GHz or higher, such as an E-band.
