| Summary: | The paper presents the challenges involved in a system design of a robust reconfigurable RF front-end for navigation and mobile standards. Receiver architecture is chosen from the point of view of inter-system interference and 130nm CMOS process characteristics. System concept covers the implementation of GPS, Galileo, UMTS, GSM and CDMA2000 using a Zero-IF architecture with reconfigurable analog and digital path. Feasibility studies of the system cover analysis of the wireless regulations and performance criteria, such as overall gain, noise figure (NF), and 1dB compression point (P1dB) of the RF chain, phase noise requirements and VCO tuning range [1]. The presented chip was fabricated in 130 nm CMOS technology. System considerations are confirmed with the chip measurements of gain, noise figure, and linearity. Prospects for the future work are presented including technology shrink. |
