A digital-assisted DCOC is proposed to solve the DC-offset problem by removing the DC- offset component only. This method has no bandwidth sacrifice. After calibration the measured output residual offset voltage is within 5 mV at most gain settings and the IIP2 is more than 60 dBm. The baseband is designed to be reconfigurable at bandwidths of 200 kHz and 2.1 MHz. Total baseband gain can be programmed from 6 to 54 dB. The chip is manufactured with 0.13μm CMOS technology and consumes 10 mA from a 1.5 V supply in the GSM mode including an on-chip buffer while the core area occupies 1.2 mm^2.展开更多

The circuit consists of two variable gain amplifiers（VGA） in cascade and a Gm-C elliptic low-pass filter（LPF）. The filter-order and the cut-off frequency of the LPF can be reconfigured to satisfy the requirements of various applications. In order to achieve the optimum power consumption,the bandwidth of the VGAs can also be dynamically reconfigured and some Gm cells can be cut off in the given application.Simulation results show that the analog baseband circuit consumes 16.8 mW for WLAN,8.9 mW for WCDMA and only 6.5 mW for Bluetooth,all with a 3 V power supply.The analog baseband circuit could provide -10 to ＋40 dB variable gain,third-order low pass filtering with 1 MHz cut-off frequency for Bluetooth,fourth-order low pass filtering with 2.2 MHz cut-off frequency for WCDMA, and fifth-order low pass filtering with 11 MHz cut-off frequency for WLAN,respectively.展开更多

To comply with 3GPP emission mask and limit TX leakage at the RX band, the out- of-band noise performance is optimized. Due to the distortion caused by the subthreshold leakage current of the switches used in capacitor array, a capacitor bypass technique is proposed to improve the filter＇s linearity. An automatic frequency tuning circuit is adopted to compensate the cut-off frequency variation. Simulation results show that the filter achieves an in-band input-referred third-order intercept point （IIP3） of 47 dBm at 1.2-V power supply and the out-of-band noise can meet TX SAW-less requirement for WCDMA ＆ TD-SCDMA. The baseband filter incorporates -40 to 0 dB programmable gain control that is accurately variable in 0.5 dB steps. The filter＇s cut-off frequency can be reconfigured for GSM/TD-SCDMA/WCDMA multi-mode transmitter. The implemented baseband filter draws 3.6 mA from a 1.2-V supply in a 0.13 μm CMOS process.展开更多
