A 20-44-GHz Image-Rejection Receiver With >75-dB Image-Rejection Ratio in 22-nm CMOS FD-SOI for 5G Applications

This article presents a 20–44-GHz image-rejection receiver in GlobalFoundries 22-nm fully-depleted silicon-in-insulator (FD-SOI). The receiver includes a wideband LNA with a three-pole high-pass rejection filter coupled to a double-balanced mixer with a wideband LO driver and an intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier. At an IF of 16 GHz, the image band at dc −12 GHz is filtered by the LNA response ...
