Download or read book Wideband CMOS Receivers written by Miguel D. Fernandes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates how to design a wideband receiver operating in current mode, in which the noise and non-linearity are reduced, implemented in a low cost single chip, using standard CMOS technology. The authors present a solution to remove the transimpedance amplifier (TIA) block and connect directly the mixer’s output to a passive second-order continuous-time Σ∆ analog to digital converter (ADC), which operates in current-mode. These techniques enable the reduction of area, power consumption, and cost in modern CMOS receivers.
