Patent attributes
The sampling mixer circuit comprises: a clock generating circuit that outputs four-phase control signals the periods of which are in accordance with the carrier frequency of an input signal and the phases of which are different from one another; a voltage-to-current converting circuit that converts a voltage signal based on the input signal to a current signal; four-system charge sharing circuits in which the current signal as converted is input to a plurality of capacitors in accordance with the different phases based on the four-phase control signals and in which charges are exchanged among the plurality of capacitors; and a phase-to-phase capacitor that is selectively connected, on the basis of the four-phase control signals, to the respective ones of nodes, which are other than the input nodes of the current signal, in the four-system charge sharing circuits.
