Direct - Conversion CMOS

چکیده
The 7GHz unlicensed band around 60GHz provides the possibility of gigabit-per-second wireless communications. In addition to satisfying speed-intensive applications, such high data rates can also reduce the energy dissipated per bit because the power consumption of RF transceivers has historically increased sublinearly with the data rate. Moreover, the millimeter wavelength permits the integration of multiple antennas on one chip, calling for multiple transceivers and hence high levels of integration.

A CMOS self-mixing-free front-end for direct conversion applications
A CMOS self-mixing-free RF front-end for direct-conversion receivers is presented, which includes a differential LNA, a ring oscillator, and I/Q double-balanced harmonic mixers and buffers. It operates at 930MHz, achieves 51dB gain and 5.8dB spot noise figure at 100kHz frequency, and consumes 53mW power. A 54dB self-mixing improvement over traditional architecture is obtained. The front-end is ...
متن کاملEvaluation 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 CMOS LC-tank VCO and phase shifting network for direct conversion receiver of IEEE 802.11a
A CMOS LC-tank VCO and phase-shifting network are described for a direct-conversion receiver of IEEE 802.11a. The direct-conversion receiver is configured to have sub-harmonic mixing structure which requires multi-phase local oscillator (LO) signals spaced by 45°. A poly-phase filter with 3and 4-stage RC networks generates multi-phase LO signals whose amplitude imbalance is removed by cascaded ...

متن کاملA 900MHz CMOS Balanced Harmonic Mixer for Direct Conversion Receivers
A 900MHz balanced harmonic mixer for direct conversion receivers is fabricated in a 0.35 μm standard digital CMOS process. The self-mixing-induced DC offset is about 44dB lower than that of the conventional mixer. The inputreferred offset is reduced to the noise level. Specific techniques on flicker noise reduction are also discussed. At 3V power supply and -15.4dBm LO power, it achieves 13 dB ...
