Direct Conversion Front End for LTE and LTE-A with Frequency-Translational Feedback, Harmonic Rejection Mixer and Input Matching Compensation

Abstract
This thesis covers the design of a wideband, flexible front end for LTE and LTE-A in a 65 nm CMOS process. A topology with global frequency translational feedback is investigated and a harmonic rejection mixer is implemented. To compensate for parasitics at the RF input, a variable phase shift is used in the global feedback to improve input matching and prevent loss of noise performance. Combinations of these techniques are compared to a standard quadrature implementation. The suitability of three different baseband amplifiers for the circuit is also evaluated.

The full system is functional between 700 MHz and 3.7 GHz and has a noise
figure of between 1.5 and 1.3 dB depending on frequency of operation. The system provides 43 dB of gain... (More)

The full system is functional between 700 MHz and 3.7 GHz and has a noise
figure of between 1.5 and 1.3 dB depending on frequency of operation. The system provides 43 dB of gain and has an out-of-band IIP3 and CP1dB of -8 and -23 dBm, respectively. The current consumption is 21 mA from a 1.2 V supply and includes the consumption of the LNTA and baseband amplifiers. (Less)
