A 200 GHz Wideband and Low-Power Direct-Downconversion Receiver Element in 16 nm FinFET Technology 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a wideband and low-power direct-downconversion 200 GHz receiver element for digital-beamforming applications implemented in 16 nm FinFET technology. Wideband and low integrated receiver noise figure of 9.8 dB across a 21 GHz baseband bandwidth is realized with a differential low-noise amplifier leveraging an active input balun stage, while wideband gain of 29 …

A 1-8 GHz, 190MHz BB BW Mixer-First Receiver With Bootstrapped Mixer Switches Achieving Over 16dBm In-Band IIP3 150 150

Abstract:

In this article, we propose a wideband mixer-first receiver with improved in-band (IB) linearity. It uses bootstrapped N-path mixer switches to achieve a constant on-state gate–source voltage for large IB signals. We analyze the tradeoff between on-state resistance and off-state subthreshold current in conventional mixer switches and introduce a …
