Abstract:
This article presents a 2.4 GHz receiver with a third-harmonic time-interleaved passive mixer and reconfigurable analog finite-impulse-response (AFIR) filter. To improve linearity while maintaining low power consumption, a 6-path third-harmonic time-interleaved mixer with a 6-phase non-overlapping local oscillator (LO) is proposed, employing capacitive stacking and charge sharing techniques to enhance in-band …
