Abstract:

In order to improve the LO leakage caused by the DC offset of the analog baseband signal in the direct conversion transmitter,and the drift of the low-pass filter due to process deviation,temperature change,and chip aging,a method of design and implementation of an automatic frequency-calibrated low-pass filter with DC offset cancellation is proposed.In the SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) control mode,the filter can configure the cut-off frequency from 324 kHz to 648 kHz through the adjustable capacitor array.In the adaptive tuning mode,a digital-analog hybrid calibration structure based on the latched comparator is proposed.By calibrating the RC time constant of the chip,the cut-off frequency is 373.8~393.3 kHz under different PVT conditions,and the tuning accuracy relative to the nominal value of 383 kHz is -2.4%~2.7%.The chip uses 0.18 CMOS technology for tape-out verification,and the tuning circuit area is 0.045 mm2,which is only 2.2% of the main filter area.Under the 1.8V supply voltage,the power consumption of the whole filter is 6.08 mW,and the input reference noise is 38.49 nV/(Hz)1/2.

Key words: direct conversion transmitter, low-pass filters, DC offset cancellation, auto-calibration
