Embodiment Construction

[0032] The specific implementation scheme of the high frequency selective radio frequency front end of the present invention is as follows:

[0033] figure 1 is a timing chart of the local oscillator signal used in the present invention. For N (N=4,8) LO signals, the LO signal is required to be a square wave, the duty cycle of each signal is (1 / N), and the delay is 1 / N cycles in turn. figure 1 Taking 4 LO signals as an example, all 4 signals are required to have a 25% duty cycle, and each channel is relatively delayed by 1 / 4 cycle. Taking 8 LO signals as an example, all LO signals are required to have a duty cycle of 12.5%, and each channel is relatively delayed by 1 / 8 cycle.

[0034] figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the transformation effect of the NMOS switch on the baseband impedance in the frequency domain. baseband impedance Z BB at a frequency of f 0 and satisfied figure 1 Shifts occur in the frequency domain under the switching action of the desired LO si...

Abstract

The invention provides a high-frequency-selectivity radio-frequency front end suitable for nano-scale. The front end comprises a high-frequency input matching network, a lower-noise transconductor, a load network and a passive frequency mixer, wherein the passive frequency mixer is arranged on an output node of the input matching network or the low-noise transconductor or the load network; impedance conversion is adopted by the input matching network and the load network to realize high Q values and high frequency selectivity for filtering out-of-band interference; a radio-frequency signal is filtered by using the high-Q-value input matching network, and is then amplified by using the transconductor and the load of the high-Q-value load network which is subjected impedance conversion; a high-frequency signal is converted to a low-frequency signal by performing down-conversion with the passive frequency mixer for processing with an analog or digital baseband. The radio-frequency front end has the advantages of low power consumption, high image rejection ratio, high out-of-band linearity, strong gain configurability, no need of off-chip SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) filter and the like, and is suitable for application to a future multifunctional integrated radio-frequency chip.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-linearity radio frequency front end of software radio suitable for nanoscale technology, belonging to the field of radio frequency integrated circuits. Background technique [0002] Software-Defined Radio (SDR), as an expected general-purpose radio frequency transceiver, has become an important direction of research and industry attention. [0003] The functions of personal mobile terminals tend to be diversified. For example, some current smart phones already include functions such as 2G, 3G communication, Bluetooth communication, Wi-Fi and digital mobile TV. For mobile terminals compatible with multiple communication standards, the current mainstream solution is to use different chips for different standards, and add a high-Q surface acoustic wave (Surface acoustic wave, SAW) filter behind the antenna to pre-filter interference signals Then the useful signal is processed. The disadvantage of this scheme is that the c...
