A 0.13 μm CMOS front-end, for DCS1800/UMTS

This paper presents a fully integrated CMOS receiver front-end based on a direct conversion architecture for UMTS/802.11b-g and a low-IF architecture at 100 kHz for DCS1800. The two key building blocks are a multiband low-noise amplifier (LNA) that uses positive feedback to improve its gain and a hi...
