This article presents an effective methodology for designing a CMOS single‐balanced down conversion mixer with LO cancellation for MB‐OFDM UWB direct‐conversion receiver. The most crucial drawback of single‐balanced mixer; LO feedthrough is overcome by employing BPF technique for multi‐channel LO signal. The proposed single‐balanced mixer is implemented with 0.18 μm CMOS technology and it operates from 3 to 5 GHz frequency range. The measurement result shows that LO signal amplitude is less than IF signal, the IIP3 is 1 dBm at 4‐GHz band, and the current consumption is 6 mA. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
