Dual-band/tri-mode receiver IC for N- and W-CDMA systems using 6"-PHEMT technology

A dual-band/tri-mode receiver IC for CDMA based mobile systems has been fabricated using our 6"-PHEMT production line, comprising the complete RF front end and one IF stage. The first LNA stage exhibits an input IP3 of +8 dBm and a noise figure of 1.0 dB, the overall gain of the complete receiver is 26.0 dB. The current consumption only is 17 mA, for a minimum LO power demand of -7 dBm.
