The developed RF transceiver operates in the 6 to 6.3 GHz band and the channel bandwidth is up to 100 MHz. It operates in the time division duplex (TDD) mode and supports the multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) technique for the international mobile telecommunications (IMT)-advanced systems. The classical superheterodyne scheme is employed to achieve optimal performance. Design issues of the essential components such as low noise amplifier, power amplifier and local oscillators are described in detail. Measurement results show that the maximum linear output power of the RF transceiver is above 23 dBm, and the gain and noise figure of the low noise amplifier is around 24 dB and below 1 dB, respectively. Furthermore, the error vector magnitude (EVM) measurement shows that the performance of the developed RF transceiver is well beyond the requirements of the long term evolution (LTE)-advanced system. With up to 8 x 8 MIMO configuration, the RF transceiver supports more than a 1 Gbit/s data rate in field tests.展开更多

The receiver and transmitter are both of superheterodyne structure for good system performance. The frontend consists of five blocks., low noise amplifier,down-converter, up-converter, pre-amplifier, and LO buffer.

The receiver front-end draws 13.6mA currents from the 1.8V power supply. When the up-converter and pre-amplifier are directly connected, the measured noise figure is 12.4dB, the power gain is 23. 8dB, the output ldB compression point is 1.5dBm, and the third-order output intercept point is 16dBm.

The transmitter, which includes a 4: 1 multiplexer and a laser diode driver (LDD), has four 622 Mbit/s random signals as its inputs and gets a 2.5 Gbit/s driving signal as its output; the receiver detects a 2.5 Gbit/s random signal and gets four 622 Mbit/s signals at the output. The main circuits include a trans-impedance amplifier (TIA), a limiting amplifier, a clock and data recovery (CDR) unit, and a 1: 4 demultiplexer (DEMUX). Test results prove the logic functions of the transmitter to be right, and the 10% to 90% rise and fall times of transmitter's output data eye diagram are 211.1 ps and 200 ps, respectively. The sensitivity of the receiver is measured to be better than 20 mV. The root mean square jitter of the DEMUX's output data is 15.6 ps and that of the clock after 1: 4 frequency dividing is 1.9 ps. Two chips are both applicable to 2.5 Gbit/s optical fiber communication systems.展开更多
