A 40 nm CMOS 0.4–6 GHz Receiver Resilient to Out-of-Band Blockers
Jonathan Borremans,G. Mandal,Vito Giannini,Bjorn Debaillie,Mark Ingels,Tomohiro Sano,Bob Verbruggen,Jan Craninckx +7 more
TL;DR: A highly-linear software-defined radio operating from 400 MHz to 6 GHz is presented, with the purpose of removing any dedicated filtering at the antenna thanks to a 2.5 V linear LNA and mixer-based RF blocker filter.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
13.4 A 6.3mW BLE transceiver embedded RX image-rejection filter and TX harmonic-suppression filter reusing on-chip matching network
Tomohiro Sano,Masakazu Mizokami,Hiroaki Matsui,Keisuke Ueda,Kenichi Shibata,Kenji Toyota,Tatsuhito Saitou,Hisayasu Sato,Koichi Yahagi,Yoshihiro Hayashi +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a BLE transceiver, with a reconfigurable filter, embedded into an on-chip matching network without any external components is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 5 mm $^{2}$ 40 nm LP CMOS Transceiver for a Software-Defined Radio Platform
Mark Ingels,Vito Giannini,Jonathan Borremans,Gunjan Mandal,Bjorn Debaillie,P. Van Wesemael,Tomohiro Sano,Takaya Yamamoto,Dries Hauspie,J. Van Driessche,Jan Craninckx +10 more
TL;DR: Main emphasis is given to the out-of-band noise requirement that enables SAW-less operation in FDD systems: a flexible reconstruction filter is followed by a voltage-sampling mixer and a variable gain PPA.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A 40nm CMOS highly linear 0.4-to-6GHz receiver resilient to 0dBm out-of-band blockers
Jonathan Borremans,Gunjan Mandal,Vito Giannini,Tomohiro Sano,Mark Ingels,Bob Verbruggen,Jan Craninckx +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents a full software-defined receiver with 3dB NF that tolerates 0dBm blockers with acceptable blocker NF at maximum gain and achieves +10dBm out-of-band IIP3 and >+70dBm IIP2.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A 5mm 2 40nm LP CMOS 0.1-to-3GHz multistandard transceiver
Mark Ingels,Vito Giannini,Jonathan Borremans,Gunjan Mandal,Bjorn Debaillie,Peter Van Wesemael,Tomohiro Sano,Takaya Yamamoto,Dries Hauspie,Joris Van Driessche,Jan Craninckx +10 more
TL;DR: The trend in wireless communication where terminals give their users ubiquitous access to a multitude of services drives the development of Software-Defined Radio in deeply scaled CMOS, resulting in the need for a complete transceiver with RF, baseband and data converter circuits in 40nm LP CMOS.
