Beschreibung
LNA-ESD Co-Design for Fully Integrated CMOS Wireless Receivers fits in the quest for complete CMOS integration of wireless receiver front-ends. With a combined discussion of both RF and ESD performance, it tackles one of the final obstacles on the road to CMOS integration. The book is conceived as a design guide for those actively involved in the design of CMOS wireless receivers. The book starts with a comprehensive introduction to the performance requirements of low-noise amplifiers in wireless receivers. Several popular topologies are explained and compared with respect to future technology and frequency scaling. The ESD requirements are introduced and related to the state-of-the-art protection devices and circuits. LNAESD CoDesign for Fully Integrated CMOS Wireless Receivers provides an extensive theoretical treatment of the performance of CMOS lownoise amplifiers in the presence of ESDprotection circuitry. The influence of the ESDprotection parasitics on noise figure, gain, linearity, and matching are investigated. Several RFESD codesign solutions are discussed allowing both high RFperformance and good ESDimmunity for frequencies up to and beyond 5 GHz. Special attention is also paid to the layout of both active and passive components. LNAESD CoDesign for Fully Integrated CMOS Wireless Receivers offers the reader intuitive insight in the LNAs behavior, as well as the necessary mathematical background to optimize its performance. All material is experimentally verified with several CMOS implementations, among which a fully integrated GPS receiver frontend. The book is essential reading for RF design engineers and researchers in the field and is also suitable as a text book for an advanced course on the subject.
