Abstract
A new circuit configuration of the image reject mixer (IRM) is developed with composite right/left-handed (CRLH) quadrature power splitter and IF hybrid. The CRHL components are employed to enhance the RF return loss bandwidth and miniaturize the circuit size of the IF hybrid. The IRM has been experimentally demonstrated to have a 104% RF return loss bandwidth and a 20 dB image rejection ratio with a 51% bandwidth at the lower sideband IF port.
