A 1.8dB NF 300mW SiP for 2.6GHz diversity S-DMB application

This paper presents a 1.8 V 300 mW System-In-Package (SiP) solution in mobile S-DMB application. This achieves a 1.8 dB noise figure at 2.6 GHz, while the measured sensitivity is -101 dBm at diversity mode. The SiP is integrated RF tuner, demodulator, SDRAM and other passive components. An internal AGC is integrated for over 100 dB dynamic range. The SiP is 196 pins LFBGA and the size is 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.3 mm. The SiP consumes 300 mW.
