Q-enhancement in RF CMOS Filters Case Study: Direct Conversion Transmitters for UMTS
نویسنده
چکیده
Unified RF requirements are derived for an UTRA/FDD com-pliant mobile transceiver. Consideration of system issues,multi-mode operation, and interfacing concerns leads to de-tailed receiver and transmitter calculations based on exist-ing UMTS specifications. Finally, compliant and design-compatible transceiver requirements are derived.KeywordsRF Transceiver, UTRA/FDD, transceiver requirements, directup/down conversion.

متن کاملA 0.3-to-1.2GHz tunable 4th-order switched gm-C bandpass filter with >55dB ultimate rejection and out-of-band IIP3 of +29dBm
The trend towards reconfigurable receivers requires on-chip flexible filters that can replace dedicated, bulky and non-tunable filters (e.g. SAW and BAW [1]). Although BAW filters are compatible with silicon processes, their center frequency is sensitive to thickness variation of the piezoelectric material and the achievable tuneability is limited [1]. Other techniques to make RF on-chip Band P...
