A 25-kHz-BW 97.4-dB-SNDR SAR-Assisted Continuous-Time 1-0 MASH Delta–Sigma Modulator With Digital Noise Coupling 150 150

Abstract:

This article introduces a high-resolution continuous-time delta–sigma modulator (CT DSM) architecture that incorporates a successive approximation register (SAR)-assisted digital noise coupling (DNC) technique and a multi-stage noise-shaping (MASH) structure. The limited maximum stable amplitude (MSA) problem due to the high-order-shaped large quantization error ( $Etextsubscript{1}$ ) in the previous …

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 …
