A Discrete-Time Mixing Receiver Architecture with Wideband Image and Harmonic Rejection for Software-Defined Radio
نویسندگان
چکیده
A discrete-time mixing architecture for software defined radio receivers is proposed. It exploits 8x RF voltage oversampling followed by charge domain weighting to achieve 40dB 3rd and 5th harmonic rejection without channel bandwidth limitations. Also noise folding is reduced by 3dB. A zero-IF downconverter chip in 65nm CMOS can receive RF signals up to 900MHz, with NFmin=12dB, IIP3=11dBm at <20mW power consumption including multi-phase clock generation.

A New Analog-based LO Harmonic Rejection Technique with Tunable Notch Frequency
An effective technique for mixer LO harmonic rejection in a SAW-less wideband receiver front-end is proposed. The proposed technique provides a tunable notch that can be placed at any frequency like mixer LO harmonics, to avoid the aliasing in baseband after mixing. An analog LC notch is used in a cascode transconductor, and it can reject one of the 3rd or 5th harmonics. T...
متن کاملA Software-Defined Radio Receiver in 65nm CMOS Robust to Out-of-Band Interference
Two techniques are presented in this paper for a software-defined radio (SDR) receiver robust to out-of-band interference. Voltage gain is realized at IF simultaneously with low-pass filtering to mitigate blockers and out-of-band intermodulation distortion. A 2-stage polyphase harmonic rejection (HR) mixer concept robust to gain error achieves 2-6 HR of more than 60dB for 40 samples without tri...

متن کاملArchitecture and design of a reconfigurable RF sampling receiver for multistandard applications
The fast development of wireless communication systems requires more flexible and cost effective radio architectures. A long term goal is the software defined radio, where communication standards are chosen by reconfiguration of hardware. Direct analog to digital conversion of the radio frequency (RF) signal is still unrealistic at present time, due to the high requirements imposed on the analo...
