A mixer with capability of high conversion gain, good isolation, and good linearity is comparably appreciated. Extensively wide ranges of frequencies, from 5.0 to 18.0 GHz, are to be examined addressing the promising functions of mixers in this study. A TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS model implanted in Agilent ADS is used for the circuit designs. Generated from Gilbert Cell Mixer, the modified circuits take advantage of extra active and passive devices to optimize the conversion gains. Characteristics of high conversion gain over 20 dB or even higher (as high as 29.842 dB at -40 mW RF power at working frequency 6 GHz) and low noise figures (NF) are shown.展开更多
在无线接收机中,天线接收的信号强度往往变化很大,自动增益控制环路(automatic gain control,AGC)根据这个信号强度来动态调节控制放大器的增益,向后级基带电路(如ADC)提供幅度恒定的信号,使得接受到的不同强度信号均能被正确接收和解调...在无线接收机中,天线接收的信号强度往往变化很大,自动增益控制环路(automatic gain control,AGC)根据这个信号强度来动态调节控制放大器的增益,向后级基带电路(如ADC)提供幅度恒定的信号,使得接受到的不同强度信号均能被正确接收和解调;为了达到通过识别接收机接收信号的强度动态调节放大器的增益,以实现输出信号幅度恒定的目的,文章基于TSMC90nm CMOS工艺着重论述了针对70 MHz中频信号的AGC电路设计过程,详细设计了AGC各模块电路,并从提高线性度、降低直流失调和提高稳定性等方面对电路进行了优化,主要介绍AGC芯片的版图设计并进行了后仿,给出了整个AGC系统的工作特性和各项指标;在电路设计过程中,针对线性度、输出信号幅度、增益控制范围等进行改进与优化,得到符合设计指标的电路结构;最后对AGC环路的性能进行仿真验证,得到该AGC在满足输出信号幅度和线性度的基础上达到了30dB的动态范围,满足了接收机系统的要求。展开更多
