A Simultaneous Dual-Carrier Transformer-Coupled Passive Mixer-First Receiver Front-End Supporting Blocker Suppression

A Simultaneous Dual-Carrier Transformer-Coupled Passive Mixer-First Receiver Front-End Supporting Blocker Suppression 150 150
Author(s): Jamie C. Ye, Alain H. Antón, Sanaz Sadeghi, Russ H. Huang, Alyosha C. Molnar

Abstract:

A high dynamic range N-path passive mixer-first receiver architecture capable of simultaneously down-converting two arbitrary bands through a single RF port is presented. The architecture consists of two passive mixers arranged in a series configuration with a transformer front-end to minimize cross-loading between mixers while still providing impedance transparency and …

Device Nonideality-Aware Compute-in-Memory Array Architecting: Direct Voltage Sensing, I–V Symmetric Bitcell, and Padding Array

Device Nonideality-Aware Compute-in-Memory Array Architecting: Direct Voltage Sensing, I–V Symmetric Bitcell, and Padding Array 150 150
Author(s): Jianzi Jin, Shifan Gao, Cimang Lu, Xiang Qiu, Yi Zhao

Abstract:

A voltage sensing compute-in-memory (CIM) architecture has been designed to improve the analog computing accuracy, and a chip on 90-nm flash platform has been successfully fabricated, with the bidirectional operation enabled by the symmetric bitcell structure. By padding the weight sum to a global value for all bit lines (BLs), …

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
Author(s): Rundi Wu, Yetong Wang, Ran Hong, Zongle Ma, Kenan Xie, Fanyi Meng, Kaixue Ma, Keping Wang

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 (…

A Capacitive Stacking Mixer-First Receiver With Higher Order Capacitive Feedback

A Capacitive Stacking Mixer-First Receiver With Higher Order Capacitive Feedback 150 150
Author(s): Stef van Zanten, Ronan A. R. van der Zee, Bram Nauta

Abstract:

This article presents a capacitive stacking mixer-first receiver (MF-RX) with a higher order capacitive feedback (CFB) loop designed to increase interferer rejection right at the mixer baseband (BB) node, benefiting both the out-of-band (OOB) linearity of the passive mixer switches and the active BB circuitry. The CFB loop consists of …
