Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In wireless transceiver circuits some of the most prevalent required off-chip components are discrete filters. These components are generally implemented with surface acoustic wave (SAW) or ceramic components. These devices are used in the receiver section for discrimination of incoming radio frequency (RF) signals as well as downconverted intermediate frequency (IF) signals. Presently, with the growing demand for multi-functional wireless consumer devices, the need for full integration of RF and logic circuits in wireless communications systems is becoming increasingly evident. If integrated RF filters with acceptable electrical characteristics could be realized, this might reduce or eliminate the currently required off-chip filters, prospectively decreasing the complexity, size, and cost of future wireless transceiver circuits and systems. The objective of the present research effort is to implement an integrated Q-enhanced LC bandpass filter in a prospective receiver front-end RF amplifier using the passive and active components available in a standard digital complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. CMOS is the standard design medium for digital circuitry, and with the increased unity gain or transit frequency (fT) values that accompany steadily shrinking CMOS device sizes, the implementation of gigahertz frequency communications circuits in this medium is increasingly feasible. The circuit design specifically investigated in this work introduces a loss-compensated second-order gigahertz range bandpass filter implemented in a 0.18 m︡ digital CMOS process provided by National Semiconductor. This filter incorporates a unique design technique that provides improvements in filter linearity through an independently variable bias level shifting method, while also facilitating prospective single-to-differential signal conversion. One distinctive characteristic of the investigated circuit, in comparison to other RF integrated filter work, is the implementation of a novel integrated transformer feedback method that facilitates magnetically coupled loss-restoration and subsequent filter Q-enhancement. Additionally, this loss restoration method is achieved using a single transistor, in contrast to the multi-transistor cross-coupled transconductor Q-enhancement technique commonly implemented in other previous and current integrated RF filter research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many wireless systems could benefit from the ability to transmit and receive on the same frequency at the same time, which is known as In-Band Full-Duplex (IBFD). This technology could lead to enhanced spectral efficiency for future wireless networks, such as fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) and beyond, and could enable capabilities and applications that were previously considered impossible, such as IBFD with phased array systems. In this exciting new book, experts from industry, academic, and federal research institutions discuss the various approaches that can be taken to suppress the inherent self-interference that is generated in IBFD systems. Both static and adaptive techniques that span across the propagation, analog and digital domains are presented. Details and measured results that encompass high-isolation antenna designs, RF, and photonic cancellation as well as signal processing approaches, which include beamforming and linear/non-linear equalization are detailed. Throughout this book, state-of-the-art IBFD systems that utilize these technologies will be provided as practical examples for various applications. Expert IBFD perspectives from multiple research organizations and companies, which would provide readers with the most accurate state-of-the-art approaches. This is the first book that dives into both the techniques that make IBFD systems possible as well as several different applications that use IBFD technology.

Download or read book Blocker tolerant Integrated Tunable Filters in CMOS for Next Generation Wireless Communication written by Md Naimul Hasan and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern wireless communication standards support numerous frequency bands. A dedicated surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter is assigned to each single band to isolate the desired frequency bands. As a result, multiple SAW filters are necessary to cover different frequency bands which clearly increases cost and form factor. There is a strong demand towards complete integrated solutions to reduce the cost and form-factor of wireless devices. However, it is quite challenging to build integrated high-performance bandpass filters. The inherent losses associated with on-chip inductors lead to filters having relatively high insertion losses, limited dynamic range and low out-of-band rejection. For this reason, nowadays, most wireless systems utilize individual off-chip filters rather than fully integrated bandpass filters. A cellular radio receiver is required to recover a weak desired signal in presence of other in-band and out-of-band interfering signals (blockers). These interfering signals near the desired signal need to be suppressed. To that end, a band selection filter is used to provide attenuation for out-of-band signals, and a subsequent baseband lowpass channel select filters provide channel selection. Existing filters providing channel selection directly at RF for cellular applications does not have adequate rejection in the stopband to full LTE requirements. In this thesis, several techniques based on N-path filters have been proposed to handle large out-of-band blockers. The ultimate rejection of classical N-path fillter is limited due to non-zero switch resistance. A cascaded configuration of bandpass (BP) and bandstop (BS) filter is utilized to create notches on both sides of the passband where the center frequency of bandstop filters are shifted by using feed-forward and feedback g[subscript m] cell. The filter is tunable from 0.2 GHz to 1.8 GHz. The proposed tunable filter has 48.3 dB rejection at 20 MHz offsetand has 58.8 dB rejection at 45 MHz offset from the center frequency. The simulated stop-band rejection of the filter is 71.2 dB. However, it is diffcult to create nearby notches without affecting the passband response of the later. To overcome the above diffculty, a new architecture is presented based on two-path signal cancellation technique to create notches close to the passband to handle large blockers. The filter consists of a tunable BPF in parallel with tunable BS filters. Due to the subtraction of BP and BS filters two notches can be created. This combination ensures the correct amplitude and phase relationships across a wide tuning range to create adjustable TZs without sacrificing the gain of the passband. This paper presents in detail the design considerations and guidelines, as well as analysis of the filter performance in the presence of non-idealities such as parasitics and imperfect clock signal shape. The proposed filter is implemented with high-Q N-path lter blocks in a 65-nm CMOS process. The passband of the filter is tunable from 0.1 GHz to 1.4 GHz with a 3-dB bandwidth of 9.8-10.2 MHz, a gain of 21.5-24 dB, a noise figure of 3-4.2 dB, and a total power consumption of 50-73 mW. TZs are created on both sides of the passband with a minimal offset of 25 MHz and are tunable across a 20 MHz range with up to 60 dB rejection. The measured blocker 1-dB compression point is 8 dBm and the out-of-band IIP3 is 23 dBm. The reported filter provides a promising on-chip filtering solution for multi-standard, multi-frequency software-dened radio applications with improved interference mitigation capabilities. Various on-chip techniques to handle out-of-band blockers have been proposed recently. Although these approaches are suitable for suppressing a single frequency blocker, the created single-frequency notch is not effective in presence of wideband blockers which is becoming more prevalent with the development in high-speed wireless communications. A tunable active bandpass filter with bandwidth-adjustable notches close to the passband for wideband blocker suppression with high attenuation is designed and fabricated. The proposed filter is composed of a 3-pole N-path bandstop filter in cascade with an Npath bandpass filter, where the center frequency of the bandpass filter is offset from the bandstop filters. With proper tuning of the coupling capacitors in the bandstop filter, three adjacent notches can be created which provides a larger suppression bandwidth. An implementation of the filter in 65-nm CMOS exhibits a passband tunable between 0.1-1.1 GHz, with a 3-dB bandwidth of 12.4-14.2 MHz, a gain of 9.5-10.3 dB, a noise figure of 4.3-5.8 dB, and a total power consumption of 40-64.3mW. The blocker 1-dB compression point is 6.5 dBm and the out-of-band IIP3 is 18.4 dBm.
