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 …

A Capacitive Stacking Mixer-First Receiver With Higher Order Capacitive Feedback

A Capacitive Stacking Mixer-First Receiver With Higher Order Capacitive Feedback 150 150
Author(s): Stef van Zanten, Ronan A. R. van der Zee, Bram Nauta

Abstract:

This article presents a capacitive stacking mixer-first receiver (MF-RX) with a higher order capacitive feedback (CFB) loop designed to increase interferer rejection right at the mixer baseband (BB) node, benefiting both the out-of-band (OOB) linearity of the passive mixer switches and the active BB circuitry. The CFB loop consists of …
