A D-Band Wideband Single-Ended Neutralized Up-Conversion Mixer with Controlled LO Feedthrough in 65nm CMOS

A D-Band Wideband Single-Ended Neutralized Up-Conversion Mixer with Controlled LO Feedthrough in 65nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

A D-band wideband passive single-ended up-conversion mixer with controlled LO feedthrough in 65nm CMOS process is presented in this letter. The LO feedthrough was controlled by the varactor and the neutralizing transmission line between the LO and RF ports of the mixer. In measurement, the proposed passive single-ended mixer had …

248-GHz Subharmonic Mixer Last Transmitter With I/Q Imbalance and LO Feedthrough Calibration

248-GHz Subharmonic Mixer Last Transmitter With I/Q Imbalance and LO Feedthrough Calibration 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 248 GHz compact direct-conversion transmitter with IQ and LO feedthrough (LOFT) calibration capability, which can achieve a data rate of 20-Gb/s with 16-QAM. The transmitter design incorporates a subharmonic double-balanced mixer configuration, simplifying the complexity of the local oscillator (LO) chain. Furthermore, a Wilkinson power divider …

A Low-Power, Compact, 0.1–5.5-GHz, 40-dBm IB OIP3 LNTA-First Receiver for SDR

A Low-Power, Compact, 0.1–5.5-GHz, 40-dBm IB OIP3 LNTA-First Receiver for SDR 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a low-power (LP), compact, wideband (WB) low-noise transconductance amplifier (LNTA)-first receiver (RX) designed for software-defined radios (SDRs). It comprises the LNTA, frequency divider, mixer, and trans-impedance amplifier (TIA). The LNTA utilizes a common gate (CG)-common source (CS) structure without on-chip inductors and incorporates gm-boosting and …
