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
