A Low-IF 2.4 GHz Integrated RF Receiver for Bluetooth Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a low-IF 2.4 GHz integrated RF receiver for Bluetooth is presented. Designed in a 0.18 μm CMOS technology, the receiver consists of LNA, mixer, complex band-pass filter, and GFSK demodulator. A received signal strength indicator is also employed in the receiver to auto adjust the receiver gain. In this paper, the structures of the major modules were analyzed, and the simulation results are presented and discussed.
