Abstract

A sub-IV analog front-end for the FM 88-108MHz broadcasting band is presented. This front-end includes a LNA, two RF amplifiers, I-Q down converters, on chip active polyphase and low-pass filters. An RSSI and limiting amplifiers are included too. The total current consumption is only 600/spl mu/A for a global NF of 5dB. This front-end is suitable for FM and further RDS demodulation.
