Abstract
- A tunable N-path filter with more than one decade tuning range is demonstrated to address transmit (TX) leakage in a surface-acoustic-wave-less diversity path receiver for frequency-division duplexing cellular systems. The proposed filter simultaneously creates a reject band and passband anywhere from 0.2 to 3.6 GHz to suppress TX leakage while minimizing insertion loss of the receive signal and is implemented in 45-nm CMOS silicon-on-insulator. Measurements show the 3-dB bandwidth of the passband is greater than 80 MHz with an independently tunable reject band, providing the ultimate rejection is from 33 to 41 dB while the passband insertion loss is between 2.6 dB and 4.3 dB over the tuning range. The proposed filter offers 29-dBm out-of-band (OOB) third-order input-intercept power (IIP3) and 22-dBm in-band (IB) IIP3 with a 10-dBm blocker 1-dB compression point (B1dB). To the authors’ knowledge, this is the highest B1dB, IB IIP3, and OOB IIP3 for a CMOS tunable filter. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
