摘要:
A 4.8-mm2 0.1–6.0-GHz dual-path software-defined radio transmitter supporting intraband carrier aggregation (CA) in 65-nm CMOS is presented. A simple approach is proposed to support intraband CA signals with only one I-Q baseband path. By utilizing the power-scalable and feedforward compensation techniques, the power of the wideband analog baseband is minimized. The transmitter consists of a high gain-range main path and a low-power subpath to cooperatively cover different standards over 0.1–6.0 GHz with more flexibility. The reconfigurable power amplifier (PA) driver achieves wideband frequency coverage with efficiency-enhanced on-chip transformers and improved switched-capacitor arrays. This transmitter achieves
