DC(0Hz) Antenna IF Mixer 5.2GHz 2.6GHz I RF Mixer LNA LO 2.6GHz Q LO 2.6GHz IF Mixer Receiver Architecture Two Downconversion ex: 5.8GHz WLAN standard LNA: Low Noise Amplifier LO : Local Oscillator
Antenna LNA Building Blocks * Low Noise Amplifier Noise Source Amplified Signal Small Noisy Signal * The smaller noise contributed form LNA is better
RF IF : Down-conversion RF : Up-conversion IF * Mixer is a frequency converter * LO usually is a frequency synthesizer Building Blocks (cont.) * Mixer & Local Oscillator (LO) Mixer
Frequency Synthesizer • Why need frequency synthesizer? • The crystal oscillator frequency is limited • Synthesis technique provide more flexibility for application • Integration consideration
* Phase Locked Loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer Phase Detector (PD): Serves as an “error amplifier” Loop filter : A low pass filter VCO : Voltage controlled oscillator * The loop is considered “locked” if is constant with time and the output frequency will be Block Diagram of Synthesizer y(t) x(t)
Demand in the Feature • Multi-functions Integrated in one Chip • High Data Transmission Speed • Low Power Consumption
Conclusions Power Supply
