Abstract

This paper presents the design of a highly integrated GPS receiver for hand held and other applications. The IC consists of a complete GPS receiver with an integrated multi-mode fractional-N synthesizer. It is one of the most highly integrated GPS receiver ICs presented to date with unmatched flexibility and performance. The receiver chip is fabricated in a 0.35 /spl mu/m silicon BiCMOS process and packaged in a 48 pin 7 mm/spl times/7 mm land grid array chip scale package.
