Analysis and design of a low-power single-stage CMOS wireless receiver
Författare
Summary, in English
Abstract—The thorough analysis and the design of a complete
2.2 GHz quadrature receiver front-end suited for low-power
applications is reported in this work. The circuit, built in a 90nm
CMOS process, features a stacked single-ended low-noise amplifier
and a self-oscillating mixer. The oscillator LC tank is designed
to provide gain at low frequency without decreasing the quality
factor at the oscillating frequency. A careful analysis shows that
the parasitic capacitances at the output nodes ultimately limit
the achievable conversion gain.
Measurements show a conversion gain of 27.1 dB with a
14MHz bandwidth, a noise figure ranging from 12.4 to 13.2 dB
with a flicker corner frequency of 200 kHz and an input referred
1 dB compression point of -23.7 dBm. The circuit draws only
1.3mA from a 1.0V supply.
