A Design Methodology for Wideband Current-Reuse Receiver Front-Ends Aimed at Low-Power Applications

How to Design Wideband Front Ends for GSPS Converters

As high speed analog-to-digital converter technology improves, so does the need to resolve very high intermediate frequencies (IF) accurately at high speeds. This poses two challenges: the converter design itself and the front-end design that couples the signal content to the converter. Even if the converter’s performance itself is excellent, the front end must be capable to preserve the signal...

Tuned Optical Receiver Front Ends

Unified analytical expressions have been derived for calculating the resonant frequencies, transimpedances and equivalent input noise current densities of the four most widely used tuned optical receiver front ends built with FET’s and p-i-n diodes. A more accurate FET model has been used to improve the accuracy of the analysis. The Miller’s capacitance has been taken into account, and its impa...
