Mixed-Signal Receiver Baseband Slice for High-Data-Rate Communication Using 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS Technology

The circuit design and measurement results of a mixed-signal receiver baseband circuit for a wireless high data rate communication system are presented. The circuit design of the two most important system blocks of the sliced receiver baseband architecture, namely the broadband, programmable code-generator circuit, and the integrate and dump correlator circuit are explained. Using parallel sequenc...
