Summary This letter describes a low‐voltage low‐power (LV‐LP) 2.4‐GHz mixer for Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band wireless applications. The approach is based on a two‐stage amplifier, and the Gilbert switch stage is inserted between the two amplifier stages. The proposed amplifier‐based mixer delivers a remarkable conversion gain of 13 dB with a local oscillator (LO) power of 7 dBm, while consuming only 1.05‐mW DC power from a 0.8‐V supply voltage. The input‐referred third‐order intercept point (IIP3) of the mixer is 3.82 dBm, and the chip area is only 0.429 mm 2 . The results indicate that this mixer is suitable for the low‐voltage low‐power applications. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
