The chain consists of a dual-mode,highly linear, fourth order Chebyshev active RC filter and three VGA stages. The filter is designed to meet the bandwidth specifications of the GSM and WCDMA standards and share the maximum number of components between the two modes to reduce manufacturing cost. The design is free of DC-offset and has an inter-stage high-pass filter, and operational amplifiers with adjustable GBW are used to minimize GSM-mode power consumption. The measured noise figures are 27. 3 and 42dBm in WCDMA and GSM modes,respectively, at the maximum gain. The IIP3 is 40dBm at unit gain in the WCDMA mode,and the circuit consumes 47.0mW. The IIP3 is 28dBm in the GSM mode,and the circuit consumes 31.8mW. The supply voltage is 3.3V.展开更多

An analog feedback loop is used to eliminate the DC-offset at the output of the. double-balanced mixer. The test results show that the mixer with the DC-offset cancellation circuit has a voltage conversion gain of 9.5dB at 5.15GHz, a noise figure of 13.5dB, an IIP3 of 7.6dBm, a DC-offset voltage of 1.73mV eliminating 76% of DC-offset,and a power consumption of 67mW with a 3.3V supply.

The proposed VGA is composed of a variable gain block, an exponential voltage generator, a DC-offset canceller with common-mode voltage correction, and a gain peaking block. To achieve the broad band and reduce the chip area, the gain peaking block employs an inductor-less gain peaking scheme to compensate the high frequency gain drop of the variable gain block and the DC-offset canceller. The VGA fabricated in 0.13μm SiGe BiCMOS technology achieves a 3-dB bandwidth of 7.5 GHz and a variable gain range from -10 to 30 dB. Due to the inductor-less design, the die area is only 0.53 - 0.27 mm＆2 which is the smallest among other similar reported works. At 10-Gb/s, the VGA consumes 50 mW power from a single 1.2 V supply and exhibits an output data jitter of less than 30 pSpp.展开更多
