“…The measured values of the specifications are also consistent with the estimated values through chain expressions of cascaded stages (Friis' formula-wise) [13], particularized in this case for the CS-LNA and the SW-MIX blocks. The parameters of each one were obtained on independent integrations that the presented here.…”

Abstract-A 2.4-GHz CMOS single ended-input differentialoutput front-end built with a common source low noise amplifier (CS-LNA) and a switched transconductor mixer (SW-MIX) is presented. The circuit is designed and optimized to work in a ZigBee receiver. Since this is a low power consumption standard, a single-ended LNA is preferred over a fully-differential topology because it leads to lower cost in area and power consumption. Also, moderate and weak inversions regions were selected for the operation of the principal transistors. The front-end prototype has been implemented in a 90 nm RF process and occupies a chip area of 0.74 mm 2 including on-chip inductors. Very competitive results are observed: a maximum conversion gain (CG) of 30 dB, a DSB noise figure of 7.5 dB, a maximum IIP3 of -12.8 dBm and IIP2 of 14.4 dBm while it consumes 4.7 mW from a 1.2 V supply.

“…Intercept points [1] are very often used to describe the non-linear performance of transceiver blocks-see e.g. References [2,3]. When evaluating the performance of a single stage both gain and intercept point should be considered.…”

SUMMARYIntercept points are often used to describe the non-linear performance of transceiver stages. This letter introduces an intercept measure. The intercept measure is a performance parameter including both intercept point and gain parameters. Particularly for low gain stages the intercept measure is useful and is better to use than the traditional output intercept point. The intercept measure is very useful as a single non-linear performance parameter.
