Do you know how to implement it by CMOS chips?The best way is to use a divide by 4 arrangement. It doesn't care about input duty cycle. This gives 90 degree LO shift over wide frequency range.
If you have an assured 50% input duty cycle you can create 90 degree shift with divide by 2 (one /2 is on pos edge, other /2 on neg edge). Any duty cycle variation will result in shift in 90 degree phasing.
I have got 4047 which produces 2 output signals which are 180 degrees out of phase, and of course are 50% duty cycle, But do not know how to implement the 90 & 270 degree on it?
And using squarewave is fine. Top chopping of a double Gilbert cell balanced mixer is fine with squarewave LO drive.
what that does mean really?
There are quite a few IC's that have divider and mixers in one chip. https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2011/08/2713DS-1.pdf
Do you know any else too?
Thanks
