The audio processing function is combined with a 0 dBm transmitter using 0.25 /spl mu/m BiCMOS technology for portable wireless applications. Reference suppression is better than 60 dB. It operates over 1.8 to 2.8 V and consumes 26 mA. As part of a highly integrated two-chip transceiver system, it enables a low cost solution for analog cordless telephones.

A 19 GHz monolithic superheterodyne receiver front-end with 300 MHz IF, on-chip tunable image reject filter and VCO is presented. The receiver was fabricated on a 0.5 um bipolar process. The 2.2 GHz VCO was realized with ground-shielded inductors. The performance is as follows: conversion gain: 25.6 dB, noise figure: 4.5 dB, image rejection: 65 dB, and phase noise of -103 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset. The LO-IF isolation improved compared to a previously fabricated front-end with off-chip VCO. This receiver front-end has NF, linearity, and phase noise suitable for DCS-1800.

This work describes a 0.5-16 GHz capacitively coupled HBT medium power distributed amplifier targeted for 10 Gb/s fiber-optic transmitter applications. The amplifier obtains a nominal 8-9 dB gain from 500 MHz to 16 GHz with frequency capability down to baseband, and delivers as much as 19 dBm of output power. With a 10 Gb/s PRBS signal applied, the MMIC obtains a peak-to-peak output voltage of >3 V with a clear eye opening while consuming a Pdc of only 420 mW or half the dc power of previous HBT mod driver ICs.

In the past, several successful attempts were made in designing low phase noise oscillators, including noise canceling techniques. Since silicon and silicon germanium transistors with high gain are not available in PNP polarity, it has been difficult to find appropriate biasing schemes. This paper shows a novel circuit using NPN transistors, which meets all the required goals and has been validated in discrete form and is currently in production at the Motorola silicon germanium foundry.
