The invention relates to a mixer circuit, which includes a transconductance stage circuit, a switch stage circuit and a load stage circuit which are electrically connected in sequence. The transconductance stage circuit is used to access a radio frequency voltage signal and convert the radio frequency voltage signal into a radio frequency current signal The switch-level circuit is used to access the local oscillator signal and the radio frequency current signal, and the switch-level transistor is turned on by using the local oscillator signal; the load-level circuit is used to convert the intermediate frequency current signal into a voltage signal for output. In the present invention, the transconductance stage circuit adopts a transistor superposition technology structure, which improves the conversion gain of the mixer; at the same time, it uses a source degenerate inductance structure, which further improves the conversion gain and linearity of the circuit.
A mixer circuit is characterized by including a transconductance stage circuit, a switch stage circuit and a load stage circuit which are electrically connected in sequence;
The mixer circuit according to claim 4, wherein the transistors M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M9, and M10 are all NMOS transistors.
