<正>This paper presents a low power 2.4 GHz transceiver for ZigBee applications.This transceiver adopts low power system architecture with a low-IF receiver and a direct-conversion transmitter.The receiver consists of a new low noise amplifier(LNA) with a noise cancellation function,a new inverter-based variable gain complex filter (VGCF) for image rejection,a passive quadrature mixer,and a decibel linear programmable gain amplifier(PGA). The transmitter adopts a quadrature mixer and a class-B mode variable gain power amplifier(PA) to reduce power consumption.This transceiver is implemented in 0.18μm CMOS technology.The receiver achieves—95 dBm of sensitivity,28 dBc of image rejection,and -8 dBm of third-order input intercept point(IIP3).The transmitter can deliver a maximum of+3 dBm output power with PA efficiency of 30%.The whole chip area is less than 4.32 mm~2. It only consumes 12.63 mW in receiving mode and 14.22 mW in transmitting mode,respectively.
