摘要：

A frequency-translational quadrature-hybrid receiver is proposed that achieves wideband input matching for a reflective low-noise-amplifier input impedance and enables the realization of wideband, concurrent receivers. Frequency-agile, inter-band carrier aggregation is realized from a single antenna through RF signal sharing and quadrature-hybrid-coupler daisy chaining. A 1.1 V 65 nm CMOS prototype chip is demonstrated that has a sub-1 dB minimum NF, a 12 MHz to 70 MHz RF bandwidth, a + 8 dBm I I P3, and a -15 dBm B-1dB and consumes < 58 mW per channel. The prototypes have been integrated into a demonstration system that features 4-band inter-band carrier aggregation with modulated carriers placed between 0.69 and 2.1 GHz and received with an EVM < 2.8%.
