A monolithic 1.9-GHz, 198-mW, 0.6-m CMOS receiver which meets the specifications of the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard is described. All of the RF, IF, and baseband receiver components, with the exception of the frequency synthesizers, have been integrated into a single chip solution. A description is given of a wide-band IF with double conversion architecture which eliminates the need for the discrete-component noise and IF filters in addition to facilitating the eventual integration of the frequency synthesizer blocks with on-chip VCO's. The prototype device utilizes a 3.3-V supply and includes a low noise amplifier, an image-rejection mixer, and two quadrature baseband signal paths each of which includes a second-order Sallen and Key anti-alias filter, an eighth-order switched-capacitor filter network followed by a 10-b pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The experimental device has a measured receiver reference sensitivity of 090 dBm, an input referred IP3 of 07 dBm, a P 01 dB of 024 dBm, and an imagerejection ratio of 055 dBc across the DECT bands.
