The IIP2 requirement in fully integrated direct-conversion receivers using FDD duplexing is prohibitively high and demands the use of an external filter in order to attenuate the leakage from the transmitter. This paper presents a digital calibration technique for passive CMOS down-converters that allows a direct conversion receiver achieve the requirements without external filtering. A Least-Mean-Square...
RFIC design using low-voltage nanometer CMOS technologies offers both advantages and challenges. This paper describes the limitations of using these technologies in receiver front-end design and proposes circuit solutions. Several techniques such as wideband noise reduction, inductoreless peaking, passive mixing, and low flicker noise amplification are reviewed and employed. A receiver front-end that...
A new method to enhance the IIP2 of a double-balanced Gilbert cell mixer through digital calibration is presented. The IIP2 calibration method consists of offset voltage cancellation in the switching pairs. The effectiveness of the method has been proven by calibrating a 0.18 mum CMOS mixer at several combinations of worst-case mismatch conditions and corners. It has been found that the calibrated...
