1 volt CMOS Bluetooth front-end
A fully integrated 1 V CMOS Bluetooth front-end for low IF has been designed and measured. The front-end consists of a common-gate LNA and a passive mixer and fulfils the requirements of the Bluetooth specification 1.0B. The front-end has a maximum signal headroom in all nodes since no transistors are stacked, and no external components are needed for the input matching. The measurements show a ve
