A 2 pA/ √Hz Input-Referred Noise TIA in 180-nm CMOS With 2.5GHz Bandwidth for Optical Receiver 150 150
Author(s): Yihao Yang, Dan Li, Nan Qi, Binhao Wang

Abstract:

This letter describes an ultra-low-noise, high-speed transimpedance amplifier (TIA) applied to the analog front-end (AFE) circuit of the high-sensitivity optical receiver. A combination of a three-stage amplifier and two positive feedback Miller capacitors is introduced to comprehensively reduce the input-referred noise current (IRNC) of a shunt-feedback TIA (SFTIA) and to …

Two 7–13-GHz GaAs-SiGe Four–Channel Beamforming Chiplets With/Without Metallic Interlayer Shields

Two 7–13-GHz GaAs-SiGe Four–Channel Beamforming Chiplets With/Without Metallic Interlayer Shields 150 150
Author(s): Nengxu Zhu, Yiting Zhang, Genyin Ma, Fanyi Meng

Abstract:

This letter presents two 7–13-GHz GaAs-SiGe four-channel beamforming chiplets to minimize the chip area. The chips integrate GaAs-based power amplifiers (PAs) and low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) with silicon-based phase and amplitude control modules using gold bumps. To mitigate coupling between the metal patterns of the heterogeneous chips and avoid interference with …

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 …
