Overload Capacity

An amplitude demodulator with a large dynamic range, based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), is proposed in this paper. It is implemented as a cascade of a capacitive and a thermoelectric sensor. Two types of the transducer can improve the measurement range and enhance the overload capacity. This MEMS-based demodulation is realized by utilizing the square law relationship and the low-pass characteristic during the electromechanical and thermoelectric conversion. The fabrication of this device is compatible with the GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) process. Experiments show that this MEMS demodulator can realize the direct demodulation of an amplitude modulation (AM) signal with a carrier frequency of 0.35–10 GHz, and cover the power range from 0 to 23 dBm. This MEMS demodulator has the advantages of high power handling capability and zero DC power consumption.

Balanced Mixer

Differential implementation is becoming highly favoured in RFIC (radio frequency integrated circuit) design, notably its high immunity to common-mode noises, acceptable rejection of parasitic coupling, and increased dynamic range. One specific RF front-end building block that is usually designed as a differential circuit is the mixer.  This technical paper presents a study of a differential mixer, notably the double-balanced mixer implemented on a direct-conversion architecture in a standard 90nm CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) process.  Operating frequency is set at 5GHz, which is a typical frequency for RF (radio frequency) receiver.   Impedance matching was essential to fully optimize the mixer design.  The direct-conversion double-balance mixer design eventually achieved conversion gain of 11.463dB and noise figure of 16.529dB, comparable to mixer designs from past research and studies.
