Codesign of Mixer-VGA Downconverter Blocks

Abstract: Two radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) downconverters are presented, each consisting of an active mixer and a variable gain amplifier (VGA). The downconverter blocks (DCBs) have identical mixing stages but different VGA topologies. The mixers use a commutating switching network and a low-noise RF transconductance stage to reduce the system noise figure (NF). VGA gain control in one DCB (DCB-1) is done using a current-steering approach, while the second DCB (DCB-2) employs a transistor-based attenuator. … Show more

“…This is due to the increased depletion width of source-side with increasing V GS . Increased V GS reduces the channel-to-drain potential barrier, and thereby, C gd increases with increasing V GS [22]. Since C gg is C gs + C gd , the change in C gg can be corresponding to the change of C gs and C gd .…”
