A 1.9-GHz wide-band IF double conversion CMOS receiver for cordless telephone applications

Abstract

A monolithic 1.9-GHz, 198-mW, 0.6-m CMOS receiver which meets the specifications of the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard is described. All of the RF, IF, and baseband receiver components, with the exception of the frequency synthesizers, have been integrated into a single chip solution. A description is given of a wide-band IF with double conversion architecture which eliminates the need for the discrete-component noise and IF filters in addition to facilitating the eventual integration of the frequency synthesizer blocks with on-chip VCO's. The prototype device utilizes a 3.3-V supply and includes a low noise amplifier, an image-rejection mixer, and two quadrature baseband signal paths each of which includes a second-order Sallen and Key anti-alias filter, an eighth-order switched-capacitor filter network followed by a 10-b pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The experimental device has a measured receiver reference sensitivity of 090 dBm, an input referred IP3 of 07 dBm, a P 01 dB of 024 dBm, and an imagerejection ratio of 055 dBc across the DECT bands.

New Double Current Controlled CFA (DCC–CFA) Based Voltage–Mode Oscillator with Independent Electronic Control of Oscillation Condition and Frequency

“…Many of these components offer features for electronic control and great frequency response. Mentioned elements find wide range of applications in the field of sensor, control, measuring, automotive electronics, acoustic, and high-speed & radio-communication systems (amplifiers, filters, oscillators, modulators, active rectifiers, etc) [22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

Frequency-selective MEMS for miniaturized low-power communication devices

“…In this respect, these devices pose an important bottleneck against the ultimate miniaturization and portability of wireless transceivers. For this reason, many research efforts are focused upon strategies for either miniaturizing these components [1]- [5] or eliminating the need for them altogether [6]- [8].…”

Optimizing Mixer Noise Performance: a 2.4 GHz Gilbert Downconversion Mixer for W-CDMA Application

“…For instance, variation of the tail current, and variation of LO biasing, can degrade the linearity and noise figure tremendously. Figure 2 is the complete circuit diagram of the mixer, Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the mixer similar structure can be found in [4] [5].…”
