A Band 3 receiver RF front-end for digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is described in this paper. The front-end integrates most of the functions necessary to receive and down convert Band 3 (174~245MHz) signals for further baseband processing, including a variable gain LNA, mixers, VGA, IF amplifiers, and PLL. The overall receiver gain is ≥90dB and NF is 4dB. Gain can be controlled over a range of over 95dB and IM3 remains above 60dB up to input levels of -10dBm. The linearity and dynamic range of this system is improved by using an external attenuator that has 30dB variable attenuation. Two AGC circuits (one for the RF part and another one for the IF part) are implemented in this receiver. An on-chip PLL based on integer-N architecture with P and S dividers is designed with integrated VCO generate all the LO frequencies. The prescaler used in the PLL realizes a divideby-64/65 stage. The front-end is designed in a standard 0.18µm CMOS process. The power consumption from a 3.3V power supply is 75mA.
