Abstract:

This letter presents a fractional-N digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) employing a dynamic-threshold digital-to-time converter (DT-DTC). By dynamically adjusting the comparator threshold voltage, the proposed DT-DTC mitigates delay nonlinearity without digital predistortion (DPD). A quadrature-VCO (QVCO) generates quadrature phases for a multiphase clock generator (MPCG). The QVCO-based MPCG with skew calibration …

A 6.3–18.4 GHz I/Q Receiver With RF and LO Path Reconfigurability for 6G FR3 Applications in 22-nm FD-SOI

A 6.3–18.4 GHz I/Q Receiver With RF and LO Path Reconfigurability for 6G FR3 Applications in 22-nm FD-SOI 150 150
Author(s): Haisu Ju, Yingtao Zou, Gabriel M. Rebeiz

Abstract:

This article presents a 6.3–18.4 GHz in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) direct down-conversion receiver featuring reconfigurability in both the radio frequency (RF) and local oscillator (LO) paths. The receiver comprises a multi-band reconfigurable RF front-end, double-balanced passive I/Q mixers, an I/Q LO generation network with a tunable I/Q …
