Abstract
This paper describes the design of a 1.9-GHz front-end receiver. The target application of the receiver is the personal communications standard PCS190 0. Powered by a 1-V supply, the receiver consists of a low noise amplifier (LNA) and a down-conversion mixer. The receiver was fabricated within a 0.5 -mum CMOS technology. The LNA features 15 dB of gain and a 1.8-dB noise fig ure. The mixer exhibits 1.5-dB conversion loss, 12-dB noise figure, and 0 d Bm 1dB-compression point.
