Abstract

A monolithic 900-MHz CMOS wireless receiver with on-chip RF and IF filters and a fully integrated fractional-N synthesizer is presented. Implemented in a standard 0.5-μm CMOS process and without any off-chip component, the complete receiver has a measured image rejection of 79 dB, a sensitivity of -90 dBm, an IIP3 of -24 dBm, and a noise figure of 22 dB with a power of 227 mW and a chip area of 5.7 mm². The synthesizer achieves a phase noise of -118 dBc/Hz at 600 kHz offset and a settling time of less than 150 μs.
