Abstract-A monolithic 5-6-GHz band receiver, consisting of a differential preamplifier, dual doubly balanced mixers, cascaded injection-locked frequency doublers, and a quadrature local oscillator generator and prescaler, realizes over 45 dB of image-rejection in a mature 25-GHz silicon bipolar technology. The measured single sideband (50 ) noise figure is 5.1 dB with an IIP3 of 4.5 dBm and 17-dB conversion gain at 5.3 GHz. The 1 9 1 2 mm 2 IC is packaged in a standard 32-pin ceramic quad flatpack and consumes less than 50 mW from a 2.2-V supply.Index Terms-Image-reject mixing, low-noise amplifiers, low-power design, low voltage design, RFIC design, simultaneous noise/power matching, wireless receivers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
