A Reconfigurable Analog Baseband for Multistandard Wireless Receivers in 22-nm CMOS

Abstract

This paper presents a low noise, and high linearity reconfigurable receiver (RX) analog baseband (ABB) with tunable bandwidth (BW) and gain for multi-standard applications. The designed ABB consists of a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and a second-order active RC low-pass filter (LPF) with cutoff frequency range from 0.7 MHz–10 MHz, whereas the gain could be tuned between 0 dB and 49 dB. The proposed ABB is implemented in 22 nm CMOS process. The post-simulation results show that the current consumption is 3.36 mA from 1 V supply and the area occupies 571×328 μm 2. The ABB achieves 42.8 dBm in-band third-order harmonic intercept point (IIP3). The spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) and in-band total harmonic distortion (THD) is 83.2 dBc and is -83.1 dB, respectively. The input referred in-band integrated noise (IRN) is 144.8 μVrms . A digital DCOC is used to calibrate the output DC level.
