A Fast-Settling mm-Wave LO With I/Q-Calibrated SSB Mixer and Frequency-Tuned ILO Filter Achieving Sub-ns Settling Time and −56 dBc Spur

A Fast-Settling mm-Wave LO With I/Q-Calibrated SSB Mixer and Frequency-Tuned ILO Filter Achieving Sub-ns Settling Time and −56 dBc Spur 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a fast-settling 60-GHz local oscillator (LO) for stepped-carrier orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), employing an I/Q-calibrated single-sideband (SSB) mixer with a frequency-tuned injection-locked oscillator (ILO) filter. The SSB mixer enables instantaneous frequency hopping, while the ILO acts as a high- $Q$ bandpass filter that suppresses mixer-induced spurs. …

Reconfigurable Ferroelectric Bandpass Filter With Low-Frequency Noise Analysis for Intracardiac Electrogram Monitoring

Reconfigurable Ferroelectric Bandpass Filter With Low-Frequency Noise Analysis for Intracardiac Electrogram Monitoring 150 150

Abstract:

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) provide real-time monitoring and immediate defibrillation for life-threatening arrhythmias. However, the intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) acquisition of ICDs faces stringent constraints, including power consumption, low-frequency noise, and patient-specific physiological variability. This article introduces an ultralow-power, high-resolution, reconfigurable three-stage bandpass filter designed specifically for IEGM, utilizing ferroelectric field-effect …

A 10 to 40 GHz Reflection-Mode N-Path Filter

A 10 to 40 GHz Reflection-Mode N-Path Filter 150 150

Abstract:

A bandpass reflection-mode N-path filter (RMNF) with 2-GHz bandwidth and 10 to 40 GHz center-frequency tuning is presented. The design includes a broadband hybrid coupler, N-path reflectors, comprising four-phase passive mixers terminated with third-order in-phase and quadrature-phase active baseband loads, and a broadband clock-generation network. The reflectors realize an in-band open circuit …

A Low-Power Blocker-Tolerant Wideband Receiver With Bias-Tunable Mixer and Effective Switch Resistance Compensation

A Low-Power Blocker-Tolerant Wideband Receiver With Bias-Tunable Mixer and Effective Switch Resistance Compensation 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a mixer-first blocker-tolerant receiver (RX) with effective switch resistance ( ${R} _{\text {SW}}$ ) compensation and high-Q selectivity. By analyzing the impact of non-ideal 1/N LO duty cycle and effective ${R} _{\text {SW}}$ on mixer-first RX, an effective ${R} _{\text {SW}}$ compensation technique is proposed to mitigate noise figure (…
