Abstract A highly integrated direct-conversion receiver that satisfies requirements of the third generation Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) mobile phone standard is described. The receiver IC includes the front-end low-noise amplifier, down-conversion mixers, channel select filters, baseband variable gain amplifiers, and the entire frequency synthesizer, including the voltage controlled oscillator, buffers and phase-locked loop.
