A 1.1 - 1.2GHz CMOS high phase accuracy,low amplitude mismatch quadrature LO driver is presented,which consists of a high frequency amplifier,an integrated poly phase filter, and an I/Q phase and magnitude calibration circuit（PMCC）. The proposed PMCC uses a feed-forward calibration technique. It improves the phase accuracy and reduces the amplitude mismatch with low power consumption. Simulation results show that phase error with PMCC is reduced to about one half and the amplitude mismatch is reduced to about one tenth, when compared to the LO driver without PMCC. Moreover,the calibration circuit also functions as a buffer to drive mixers, thus no additional buffer is needed in this design. The LO driver is implemented in a TSMC 0.25μm CMOS process. Experimental results show that the LO driver achieves high quadrature accuracy （〈2°） and low amplitude mismatch （0. 1%）. It has about 5.25dB gain and dissipates 6mA from the 2.5V power supply. The size of the die area is only 1.0mm×1.0mm.
Based on a physical understanding of nonlinearity and mismatch, a novel offset-cancellation technique for low voltage CMOS differential amplifiers is proposed. The technique transfers the offset voltage from the output to other parts of the differential amplifier and can greatly reduce the input-referred offset voltage without extra power consumption. A 1.8V CMOS differential amplifier is implemented in 0.18μm CMOS process using the proposed technique. The simulation results show that the technique could reduce the input-referred offset voltage of the amplifier by 40% with a 20% load transistor mismatch and a 10% input differential transistor mismatch. Moreover, the proposed technique consumes the least power and achieves the highest integration among various offset-cancellation techniques.
A 2.4GHz ASK transmitter suitable for a low power wireless capsule endoscope system is presented. A mixer-based frequency up-conversion transmitter architecture is employed to achieve a high data rate. A pseudodifferential stacked class-A power amplifier using the current reuse technique is proposed to save power. The transmitter mainly includes two parts： a 20MHz ASK modulator based on a constant amplitude phase lock loop （PLL） and a direct up-conversion RF circuit. This design, implemented in a TSMC 0.25μm CMOS process, achieves a - 23. 217dBm output power with a data rate of 1Mbps and dissipates 3.17mA of current with a single 2.5V power supply.
