100MHz to 2.5GHz RF Detector Based on SiGe HBT

Article Preview

Abstract:

A RF received signal strength indication (RSSI) circuit with 100MHz to 2.5GHz frequency bandwidth was designed based on Jazz 0.18 μm SiGe HBT process. The RSSI was composed of 4 cascaded limiting amplifier and full wave current rectifier. A novel DC offset compensation circuit was adopted to achieve stable operating point. The circuit was simulated with Cadence design kit. Results showed that the RSSI had a wide dynamic range from 45dBm to 0dBm, operated at a 3.3V single supply. The power consumption is 18.8mW.
