A CMOS Analog Baseband for a 5GHzWLAN Direct- Conversion Receiver

چکیده
This paper describes a CMOS analog baseband circuits for directconversion receiver of5GHz IEEE 802.11a. The analog baseband consists of I/Q signal paths which have channel selection filter, programmable gain amplifier (PGA). An active-RC channel selection filter for WLAN is described whose cut-off frequency is tunable from 6MHz to 20MHz. For high linearity, the PGA is constructed with op-amp and resistor based inverting amplifiers. For minimum power consumption, the op-amps employ the current re-using feedforward frequency compensation. The input third-order intercept point (iIP3) is 20dBV at the highest gain mode. Implemented in a 0.18 m CMOS technology, the gain of the programmable gain amplifier (PGA) can be controlled from 2.5dB to 52.5dB with 0.5dB step.

Evaluation of CMOS Front-End Receiver Architectures for GSM Handset Applications
This paper analyses two front-end receiver architectures intended for GSM900 use; (i) A direct-conversion receiver, and (ii) a low-IF receiver using a poly-phase filter. The aim is to determine the circuit performance required for GSM operation and to compare this to current state-of-the-art CMOS performance. The analysis shows that direct-conversion receivers fail to meet specifications when b...

متن کاملA 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...
