NanometerCMOS RFICs for Mobile TV Applications focuses on how to break thetrade-off between power consumption and performance (linearity andnoise figure) by optimizing the mobile TV front-end dynamic range inthree hierarchical levels: the intrinsic MOSFET level, the circuitlevel, and the architectural level. It begins by discussing thefundamental concepts of MOSFET dynamic range, including nonlinearityand noise. It then moves to the circuit level introducing thechallenges associated with designing wide-dynamic range,variable-gain, broadband low-noise amplifiers (LNAs). The book givesa detailed analysis of a new noise-canceling technique that helpsCMOS LNAs achieve a sub - 2 dB wideband noise figure. Lastly, thebook deals with the front-end dynamic range optimization process fromthe systems perspective by introducing the active and passiveautomatic gain control (AGC) mechanism.
