Abstract
This paper proposes a novel design of a high power gain, low noise WLAN receiver. We designed the front-end of the receiver and the system can down-convert a typical WLAN signal to an IF frequency of 500 MHz. The proposed design has a gain of more than 54 dB and a noise figure of less than 8 dB. The RF front end for the WLAN receiver features an IIP3 of higher than −29 dB, a sensitivity of −123.0 dB, and a dynamic range is 43.8 dB. The proposed design features a direct-conversion scheme. In this paper, a brief introduction of the on-going WLAN standard is discussed; the block designs and the complete system design are demonstrated with the targeted specifications and simulation results; and the difficulties and solutions of the design process are showed.
