Abstract
This paper presents a SAW-less GNSS front-end amplifier with GSM blocker suppression using CMOS directional coupler notch filter. The front-end amplifier is aimed at the GNSS receiver integrated in cellular phones. Based on our proposed CMOS stacked spiral-coupled (SSC) directional coupler working at the frequency of 900MHz as notch filter, the front end amplifier achieves a NF of 1.7dB and a 80.4-dB suppression of the GSM blocker while provides signal gain of 38.6-dB for the GPS L1-band signal.
