In the recent
years, progress in wireless technology has required high-quality receiver
designs that comprise low power, low cost, and high integration. Low noise
amplifiers (LNA) and mixers are essential components of the design of the
receiver. During this project, three integrated circuits solutions are
developed which includes four mixer circuits and two LNA topologies. The
folded mixer that is developed for WiFi applications provides high isolations
and improved linearity. The self-biased mixer, bulk-injection mixer,
switched-transconductance mixer, and LNA support the use of this design in
low-power and wideband front-end applications.
