| Abstract: | This paper reports the first multifunctional 0.4-μm BiCMOS-based transceiver chip developed for 5-GHz-band Gaussian minimum-shift keying modulation wireless systems. The chip integrates a low-noise radio-frequency amplifier, a down-mixer, and an intermediate-frequency (IF) amplifier in the down-converter path; an IF amplifier, a limiter, an up-mixer, and a buffer amplifier in the up-converter path; and a frequency doubler and a local oscillator amplifier in the local oscillator path. The chip featuring gain attenuation as well as standby mode operation uses a single 2.6-5.2-V bias voltage and dissipates 56 mW in receive mode and 66 mW in transmit mode. The transceiver chip size is 3.0×2.4 mm2 |
