This paper presents the analysis and design of a quadrature charge-domain down-conversion sampling mixer with embedded finite-impulse-response (FIR), infinite-impulse-response (IIR), and 4-path bandpass filters. An in-depth investigation of the principles of periodic impulse sampling, periodic windowed sampling, and periodic N-path windowed sampling is presented and their characteristics are compared. A detailed mathematical treatment of charge-domain windowed samplers with built-in sinc, FIR and IIR filters is provided. A quadrature charge-domain sampler with embedded FIR, IIR, and 4-path band-pass filters is proposed and its performance including the effect of the non-idealities of devices is investigated. The proposed design is implemented in an IBM 130 nm 1.2 V CMOS technology. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed design is tunable over 50-250 MHz frequency range. For an 100 MHz input, the proposed design exhibits 70 dB aliasing rejection, 60 dB stop band attenuation while consuming current of 145 . The performance of the proposed design is further validated using the results of on-wafer measurement of the fabricated microchip.Index Terms-Charge-domain windowed sampling, N-path filter, software-defied radio.
