Abstract

A monolithic 5-6-GHz band receiver, consisting of a differential preamplifier, dual doubly balanced mixers, cascaded injection-locked frequency doublers, and a quadrature local oscillator generator and prescaler, realizes over 45 dB of image-rejection in a mature 25-GHz silicon bipolar technology. The measured single sideband (50 /spl Omega/) noise figure is 5.1 dB with an IIP3 of -4.5 dBm and 17-dB conversion gain at 5.3 GHz. The 1.9/spl times/1.2 mm/sup 2/ IC is packaged in a standard 32-pin ceramic quad flatpack and consumes less than 50 mW from a 2.2-V supply.
