Low-power current-reused RF front-end based on optimized transformers topology
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the design, analysis and performance of a 2.4 GHz fully integrated low-power current-reused receiver front-end implemented in 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The front-end is composed of a single-to-differential low-noise amplifier (LNA), using high-Q differential transformers and inductors and a coupled switching mixer stage. The mixer transconductor and LNA share the same DC current. Measurements of performance show a conversion gain of 28.5 dB, noise figure of 6.6 dB, 1 dB compression point of −32.8 dBm and IIP3 of −23.3 dBm at a 250 kHz intermediate frequency, while dissipating 1.45 mA from a 1.2 V supply.

a cheaper design. Since an LC-oscillator topology is mandatory to achieve a minimal current draw, the reduction of the number of coils has to be done in the LNA, the mixer and the quadrature generator. In this work, starting from the LNA-Mixer and VCO (LMV) cell topology [2], a single-coil low-power receiver shares the bias current among all the RF blocks of the analog front-end. The receiver p...

The front-end transmit/receive switch circuit is one of the essential elements in modern wireless handsets. The main function of the transmit/receive switch is switch the antenna either to the transmitter or the receiver. It must have high isolation in order to avoid the RF-power of the transmitter (PA) turning on the receiver (LNA), resulting in high loss or in the worst case damage. Low inser...
