Abstract
A zero intermediate frequency (zero-IF) radio frequency (RF) transceiver with tunable operating frequency band is proposed in this article, which consists of a transmitter (Tx), a receiver (Rx). Both the Tx and the Rx can achieve broadband operation. By tuning the carrier signal frequency (fc), the Tx and Rx can work in variable frequency band which is determined by fc. Therefore, a transceiver with tunable operating frequency band was realized. A prototype of the designed transceiver was designed, simulated, manufactured, and measured. In the end, a zero-IF RF transceiver with tunable frequency band during 2.3 to 3.5 GHz was implemented. The gain range of the Tx is −35 to 28 dB. The gain range of the Rx is 28 to 78 dB. For 16-QAM signal with a symbol rate of 15 MHz, the error vector magnitude of proposed Tx and Rx are less than 7.8% and 5.0%, respectively.
