An Active Balun for High
نویسندگان
چکیده
A circuit topology that provides large bandwidth single-ended to differential conversion is presented. The proposed cell is based on a differential pair where feedback on common mode signal provides about 6 dB conversion gain increase, together with attenuation of common mode signal. Small-signal characterisation is presented, based on a block decomposition of the cell. Measurements on a SiGe test IC show more than 5 dB of gain improvement with respect to a simple differential pair.

A Novel Circularly polarized dielectric resonator antenna with Branch-Line Coupler and Log-Periodic Balun
A new shaped circularly polarized dielectric resonator antenna (CP DRA) is studied with branch-line coupler and log-periodic balun for the GPS application. Since the coupler and balun are located under the DRA, it does not increase the footprint of the antenna, as a result the system is very compact. Two configurations are considered in this paper. In the first configuration, an external 50Ω lo...
متن کاملA 38 to 44GHz sub-harmonic balanced HBT mixer with integrated miniature spiral type marchand balun
This work presents an active balanced sub-harmonic mixer (SHM) using InP double heterojunction bipolar transistor technology (DHBT) for Q-band applications. A miniature spiral type Marchand balun with five added capacitances for improved control of amplitude and phase balance is integrated with the SHM. The measured results for the SHM demonstrates a conversion gain of 1.2 dB at an RF frequency...
متن کامل1.8 dB NF 3.6 mW CMOS active balun low noise amplifier for GPS
A 1.227 GHz low power single-ended input, differential output low noise amplifier (balun LNA) for GPS is proposed. A two stage structure with current-reused technique is adopted to achieve low power, low noise factor and high voltage gain simultaneously. The LNA is fabricated in 0.18 mm CMOS process, consuming only 2 mA current from a 1.8 V supply. The LNA is measured to exhibit a differential ...
متن کاملA 0.13-µm CMOS 0.1-12GHz active balun-LNA for multi-standard applications
A 0.1–12GHz Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with an active balun is proposed for multi-standard applications. In order to realize wideband matching and single-to-differential (S2D) conversion simultaneously, a single-end resistive negative feedback amplifier is adopted as the first stage for input impedance matching, and a novel active balun consisting of common source amplifier and source follower i...
متن کاملA Direct Down-conversion Receiver for Low-power Wireless Sensor Networks
A direct downconversion receiver implemented in 0.13 μm 1P8M process is presented. The circuit is formed by a single-end LNA, an active balun for conversion into balanced mode, a quadrature double-balanced passive switch mixer and a quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator. The receiver operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and complies with IEEE 802.15.4 (ZigBee) specifications. The circuit exhibit...

Although many efforts have been exerted, implementation of fully integrated chip for TV tuner application is still a great challenge, to the standard of DVB-C (50M-860MHz) for example. Recent works on wideband LNA [1-2] based on off-chip balun have shown good performances, such as low NF, high linearity and excellent input matching. However, the off-chip balun adds extra cost, loss and much PCB...
