Abstract :
A mixer and operational amplifier filter combination in 65 nm CMOS technology for DVB-H is presented. Special focus is laid on the design of the operational amplifier, which is a nested-Miller compensated, 3-stage feed-forward operational amplifier. Characteristic of the operational amplifier is the supply voltage of 2.5 V to enlarge the output signal swing of the operational amplifier. Cascodes are used avoiding the electrical destruction. The operational amplifier has a gain of 89 dB, a gain-bandwidth of 1.1 GHz, and phase margin of 53.3 deg at a load of 1 pF on each of the two differential outputs. The current consumption is 5.85 mA. This operational amplifier is used in a first-order low-pass filter after a passive mixer. This mixer-filter combination is characterized as well. A conversion gain of 24 dB and a bandwidth of 4 MHz are realized. Furthermore a noise figure of 16.1 dB and an IIP3 of +10dBm are achieved.
