Abstract :
A fully integrated 2.4/5 GHz transceiver for IEEE 802.11a/b/g WLAN standards implemented in a 0.18um CMOS technology is presented. The IC employs fully integrated dual-conversion architecture without a SAW filter. The receiver chain achieves an overall 2.5dB and 3.5dB NF at 2.4/5 GHz respectively and provides over 100dB gain range. The transmitter delivers +5dBm output P1dB with an output power of -5dBm. The phase noise of the fully integrated synthesizer is -106dBc/Hz at 60kHz offset from a 5GHz carrier.
