Hi
I am designing a gilbert cell mixer.But its not working properly.In output I am not getting the exact output means I am not getting the down converted frequency and output is no longer amliplified version of input.Gain is decreases.even in the output I am getting the freq of local oscillator not of the converted frequency.I am attaching my code here. Please help me out. LO freq 2.1Ghz RF freq 2.4Ghz so IF=300meg.
