K‐band single balanced mixer based on Gilbert type using 0.18 μm CMOS process is presented. For the circuit design, passive lumped elements such as a spiral inductor and a MIM capacitor are tested up 40 GHz. The designed mixer has a conversion gain of 2.3 dB and a P1dB of −3 dBm at 24 GHz. It dissipates the power of 30.6 mW with 1.8 V supply voltage and the overall size is 940 × 560 μm 2 . © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
