Abstract:A transformer-based receiver designed in 45nm CMOS that meets WCDMA, GSM, GPRS, and EDGE system requirements is presented. The receiver requires no interstage SAW filters and consumes 20mA from 1.4V. The use of a transformer at the LNA output helps achieve high linearity by lowering the voltage swing while simultaneously providing current gain. The analog back end is implemented with two cascaded gain stages and a 2 nd order ΣΔ ADC. The receiver has a gain of 60dB, noise figure of 3.0dB and an IIP2 of >+50dBm … Show more
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.
