Dual-band RF receiver for GPS-L1 and compass-B1 in a 55-nm CMOS

A fully integrated dual-band RF receiver with a low-IF architecture is designed and implemented for GPS-L 1 and Compass-Bl in a 55-nm CMOS process. The receiver incorporates two independent IF channels with 2 or 4 MHz bandwidth to receive dual-band signals around 1.57 GHz respectively. By implementing a flexible frequency plan, the RF front-end and frequency synthesizer are shared for the dual-band operation to save power consumption and chip area, as well as avoiding LO crosstalk. A digital automatic gain control （AGC） loop is utilized to improve the receiver＇s robustness by optimizing the conversion gain of the analog-to-digital converter （ADC）. While drawing about 20 mA per channel from a 1.2 V supply, this RF receiver achieves a minimum noise figure （NF） of about 1.8 dB, an image rejection （IMR） of more than 35 dB, a maximum voltage gain of about 122 dB, a gain dynamic range of 82 dB, and an maximum input-referred 1 dB compression point of about -36.5 dBm with an active die area of 1.5 × 1.4 mm2 for the whole chip.

应用于数字广播系统的高线性下变频器

An integrated downconverter with high linearity for digital broadcasting system receivers is implemented in a 0.13 m CMOS process with an active area of 0.1 mm2. The current-mode scheme is adopted to improve linearity performance by avoiding voltage fluctuation. A passive CMOS switching pair is utilized to improve the even-order linearity of the downconverter. A current amplifier is used to provide low input impedance which will easily lead to a wide operating bandwidth and high linearity. Moreover, a current-mode Sallen-Key low-pass filter is adopted for effective rejection of out-of-band interferers and also low input impedance. The digital-assisted DC offset calibration improves the second-order distortion of the downconverter. This design achieves a maximum gain of 40 d B and a dynamic range of 10 d B. Measured noise figure is 8.2 d B, an IIP2 of 63 d Bm, an IIP3 of 17 d Bm at the minimum gain of 30 d B. The downconverter consumes about 7.7 m A under a supply of 1.2 V.
