  • 摘要: 基于TSMC 90nm CMOS工艺,设计实现K波段片上集成CMOS接收前端。接收前端由两级差分共源共栅结构低噪声放大器、双平衡吉尔伯特单元结构下变频混频器组成。射频输入、本振输入以及模块间采用片上巴伦进行匹配。测试结果表明,在射频输入频率23.2GHz时,转换增益为27.6dB,噪声系数为3.8dB,端口隔离性能良好,在电源电压为1.2V下,功耗为35mW,芯片面积为1.45×0.60mm<sup<2</sup<。

     

    Abstract: The Si-base technology can help SOC (system-on-chip) to achieve smaller size, lower cost and low power consumption. In this paper, a fully integrated K-band CMOS receiver front-end was designed based on TSMC 90nm CMOS technology. The receiver front-end consisted of a 2-stage differential cascode low noise amplifier (LNA) and a double balanced Gilbert cell down-conversion mixer. The RF input, LO input and between the LNA and mixer were matched with on-chip transformer Balun. Measurement results show that, when RF is at 23.2GHz, the conversion gain can reach 27.6dB, the noise figure just is 3.8dB, and a high isolation can be got. The receiver chip consumes 35mW with a 1.2V power supply, and only occupies a chip area of 1.45×0.60mm<sup<2</sup<.
