Review on Design and Performance Analysis of Low Power Transceiver Circuit in Wireless Sensor Network

WSN is wireless sensor network which consist of numbers of nodes. Transceiver has main role in WSN node. Transceiver consists of both transmitter as well as receiver. Power amplifier, low noise amplifier, mixer, voltage control oscillator are the main block of Transceiver. Power amplifiers are a key part of RF transmitters. 2.4 GHz RF CMOS power amplifier implemented with SMIC 0.13μm is propose...

CMOS Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications

- 1 - 107 - 055865 - mm - Wave Silicon Power Amplifiers and

Advancements in semiconductor technology have led to a steady increase in the unity power gain frequency (fmax) of silicon transistors, both in CMOS and SiGe BiCMOS technologies. This, in turn, enables realization of complex monolithic silicon integrated circuits operating at the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequency range (typically defined as 30–300 GHz). Prime target applications of silicon mm...

A Hysteretic Two-phase Supply Modulator for Envelope Tracking RF Power Amplifiers

In this paper a two-phase supply modulator suitable for envelope tracking power amplifier is presented. The designed supply modulator has the linear assisted switching architecture. Two-phase architecture is used in order to reduce the output switching ripples. The proposed architecture uses hysteretic control instead of pulse width modulation (PWM) which significantly reduces the circuit compl...
