Abstract

A single chip direct-conversion receiver for use in the 900 MHz ISM (industrial-scientific-medical) band has been fabricated in a 25 GHz f_T silicon-bipolar process. The receiver has a maximum gain of 105 dB with more than 80 dB of gain-control range. Integrated quadrature mixers and phase-shift networks are included. The typical phase error of the I/Q outputs is less than 1 degree. A class-AB servo amplifier is used to reduce dc offset while maintaining a turn-on time of 200 μs. An integrated filter is included to improve channel selectivity. The integrated circuit operates on a supply voltage range of 2.7 to 5.0 V and draws 50 mA of supply current
