Several critical techniques for receiver DC offset compensation and transmitter carrier leakage rejection calibration are presented that enable the direct-conversion architecture to meet all WLAN specifications. The receiver baseband VGA provides 62 dB gain range with steps of 2 dB and a DC offset cancellation circuit is introduced to remove the offset from layout and self-mixing. The calibration loop achieves constant high-pass pole when gain changes; and a fast response time by programming the pole to 1 MHz during preamble and to 30 kHz during receiving data. The transmitter baseband employs an auto-calibration loop with on-chip AD and DA to suppress the carrier leakage, and AD can be powered down after calibration to save power consumption. The chip consumes 17.52 mA for RX baseband VGA and DCOC, and 8.3 mA for TX carrier leakage calibration （5.88 mA after calibration） from 2.85 V supply. Implemented in a 0.35μm SiGe technology, they occupy 0.68 mm^2 and 0.18 mma die size respectively.展开更多

The digital baseband transmits a calibration signal, samples the signal which passes through the transmitter path and the calibration loop in the RF chip, measures the carrier leakage by analyzing the sampled data and compensates it. Compared with a self-calibration technique in the RF chip, the proposed technique saves area and power consumption for the wireless local area network （WLAN） solution. This technique has been successfully used for 802.1 In system and satisfies the requirement of the standard by achieving over 50 dB carrier leakage suppression.展开更多
