A zero-IF quadrature down-conversion mixer is designed for 900 MHz RFID read-ers with a shared transconductor stage and current injection technique, which is implemented in UMC 0.18 μm CMOS process. The chip is divided into three parts, the mixer, the bandgap ref-erence, and the buffer, its total area is 1.1 mm^2. The mixer in 1.8 V voltage consumes the cur-rent of 3. 7 mA with the bandwidth from 880 MHz to 940 MHz, and is measured to have a conver-sion gain of 16.42 dB, an IIP3 of -4. 625 dBm, a noise figure of 15.2 dB at 100 kHz. The chip can reach the performance requirements of the reader.
