Abstract

We present a multifunction wireless transceiver RFIC for WLAN and DVB-H applications. The RFIC includes a super-heterodyne transceiver for IEEE 802.11 a/b/g WLAN applications and a zero-IF receiver for DVB-H application. The WLAN and DVB-H transceiver share the down-conversion mixers, the baseband VGAs, filters, and the PLL synthesizer, resulting in a small silicon area of 20 mm². Using a 3.3 V supply, the power consumption of the WLAN transceiver and the DVB-H receiver are 462 mW and 396 mW, respectively.
