Analysis and Modeling of a Gain-Boosted N-Path Switched-Capacitor Bandpass Filter

TL;DR: A gain-boosted N- path SC bandpass filter (GB-BPF) with a number of sought features, based on a transconductance amplifier with an N-path SC branch as its feedback network, offering double RF filtering at the input and output of the Gm in one step and reduced physical capacitance thanks to the loop gain offered by Gm.
Journal ArticleDOI

A 2.4 GHz ZigBee Receiver Exploiting an RF-to-BB-Current-Reuse Blixer + Hybrid Filter Topology in 65 nm CMOS

TL;DR: A 2.4 GHz ZigBee receiver unifying a balun-LNA-I/Q-mixer (Blixer) and a baseband (BB) hybrid filter in one cell is fabricated in 65 nm CMOS, and most performance metrics compare favorably with the state-of-the-art.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Sub-GHz Multi-ISM-Band ZigBee Receiver Using Function-Reuse and Gain-Boosted N-Path Techniques for IoT Applications

TL;DR: To address the cost and universality of ultra-low-power (ULP) radios for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, a sub-GHz multi-ISM-band ZigBee receiver is developed, featuring a gain-boosted N-path switched-capacitor network embedded into a function-reuse RF front-end, offering concurrent RF and BB amplification, LO-defined RF filtering, and input impedance matching with zero external components.

2.4 A 0.028mm 2 11mW single-mixing blocker-tolerant receiver with double-RF N-path filtering, S 11 centering, +13dBm OB-IIP3 and 1.5-to-2.9dB NF

TL;DR: RF-tunable blocker-tolerant receivers (RXs) enhance the flexibility of multiband multistandard radios at low cost by frequency-translating the BB lowpass response to RF as bandpass and N-path RF filtering and noise cancellation are concurrently attained.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A 1.7mW 0.22mm 2 2.4GHz ZigBee RX exploiting a current-reuse blixer + hybrid filter topology in 65nm CMOS

TL;DR: Nanoscale CMOS offers sufficiently high ft and low Vt favoring the design of ultra-low-power wireless receivers (RX) via stacking the RF-to-BB functions in one cell, while sharing the smallest possible bias current.
