A frequency filtering function is provided by a 16-phase, two-stage harmonic rejection mixer which also works as a 5-bit phase shifter in multi-chip phased array systems. Equipped with 6-bit amplitude control in addition to the phase, the array receiver enables analog null steering that can reduce a spatial interferer coming from a specific direction. The developed IC achieves more than 55-dB suppression of harmonic interference in the wide range from 30 MHz to 3 GHz. The multiple ICs configure a four-element adaptive array system for the measurement of space propagation. It is confirmed that the null steering function reduces spatial interference by 20 dB and improves an EVM from -12.7 dB to -26.3 dB even when a strong interferer exists.","PeriodicalId":163595,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (RFIC)","volume":"328 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115871177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design employs two downconverters and seeks to enhance the dynamic range and gain-bandwidth product per unit power dissipation metric by adopting recursive gain reuse at multiple frequencies. Utilizing an LO at frequency fLO, the downconverter recursively amplifies an RF signal at fRF at 3 distinct frequencies, namely fRF, fRF - fLO and fRF - 2fLO, while using the same DC bias current. Further, the receiver uses the same quadrature mixers to perform the two frequency translations. The design is implemented in a 130 nm CMOS process. Over a current range from 650 μA to 2 mA, employing a supply voltage of 1.2V, the design achieves a corresponding conversion gain in the range from 57.2-82.7 dB, flicker noise corner <; 20 kHz, and a SSBNF of 13.6-6.8 dB for fRF = 404/434 MHz, in each downconverter. The architecture is suitable for application in a low-IF MICS/ISM band receiver, and low-power sensor applications.","PeriodicalId":163595,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (RFIC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131934412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
