• A 5.2 GHz upconversion Gilbert mixer with single-ended intermediate frequency (IF), local oscillator (LO), and RF ports is demonstrated using 0.35 μm SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology. The upconverter has a single-ended IF port. In addition, a lumped-element rat-race hybrid is inserted in the LO input stage to maintain balanced LO signals. The physics of the lumped-element rat-race is discussed in this paper. A passive LC current mirror is used to convert the mixer's differential outputs into a single-ended output and double the output current. The design methodology of the LC current mirror and a new approach to improve the power gain with the output buffer are developed in this paper. The fully matched Gilbert upconverter has the conversion gain of $-1$ dB, OP1 dB of $-10$ dBm and OIP3 of 6 dBm when input $\mathrm{IF}=300$ MHz, $\mathrm{LO}=4.9$ GHz and output $\mathrm{RF}=5.2$ GHz. The LO-IF isolation is $-36$ dB and the LO-RF isolation is $-39$ dB. The supply voltage is 3.3 V, the current consumption is 11.5 mA, and the die size is $0.98\times 0.83$ mm2 with six integrated on-chip inductors.
