In this paper, a Transconductance(gm)-tunable Radio-Frequency Digital-to-Analog converter (RFDAC) that used in Frequency Translating Delta-Sigma Modulator (FTDSM) is presented. The proposed RFDAC can support dualmode operation for FTDSM. To guarantee the linear gm control, constant current density technique is used. To verify the RFDAC, the prototype of 4th order FTDSM is fabricated using a 90 nm CMOS process and measured in the laboratory. The measured SNDR for 800 MHz/1.6 GHz dual mode operation was 43 dB and 44 dB for each.
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.
