A 2.7V 0.35 um BiCMOS IC realizes a complete DECT non-blind slot transceiver with a minimal number of external components. The LO synthesizer uses a double-frequency VCO with integrated spiral coil and digital self-calibration. The zero-IF receiver has 5dB noise figure and uses internal offset compensation. The direct upconversion transceiver output power is -6dBm.

A single-chip direct-conversion receiver including the frequency synthesizer (PLL and VCO) is capable of tuning to channels in the 950-2150MHz band using no external filters or varactors. The receiver satisfies requirements for use in a DSS/DVB system between the LNB and baseband demodulator for 1-45MSample/s data rates.

A low-IF RX (LNA, I/Q mixers and VGAs) and a direct up-conversion TX (I/Q mixers and output stage) are integrated on a single die with a complete PLL (quadrature VCO, 64/79 prescaler, loop filter, phase detector). The 2V 0.25 um CMOS IC consumes 191mW in RX mode and 160mW in TX mode. The chip is for class I/II DCS-1800 operation.

A RF Si bipolar transceiver IC for DECT comprises fully-integrated VCOs for transmit and receive and an image-reject front-end. The complete transceiver operates from 3.1V to 5.1V needing no mechanical tuning or trimming. The receiver achieves -95dBm sensitivity and draws 50mA.


8.5 An Adaptive 2.4GHz Low-IF Receiver for Wideband Wireless LAN in 0.6 um CMOS

A single-chip low-IF receiver uses dual-down conversion and achieves repeatable 58dB wideband on-chip image rejection. An active filter provides IF BW variable from 625kHz to 10MHz. In a complete system at 30Mb/s data rate using 64-QAM, the receiver drains 50mA from a 3.3V supply, and provides 8.9dB NF with IIP3 from -10dBm to -2dBm.
