An image rejection mixer including a first and a second hybrid couplers and a first and a second traveling-wave mixers is disclosed. The first hybrid coupler divides an input radio frequency (RF) signal to a first RF signal and a second RF signal, the second RF signal being in quadrature to the first RF signal. The first traveling-wave mixer mixes the first RF signal and a local oscillator (LO) signal to produces a first intermediate frequency (IF) signal. The second traveling-wave mixer mixes the second RF signal and the local oscillator signal to produces a second IF signal. The second hybrid coupler combines the first IF signal and the second IF signal to produce an upper sideband of the IF signals and a lower sideband of the IF signals. The use of the traveling-wave mixers allow for a wide bandwidth operation of the image rejection mixer.
