More and more solutions are developed toward low power and high integration. The target of our laboratory research is to design an 802.11b WLAN transceiver by using zero-IF architecture. We divide the transceiver into several parts: Front-End Receiver, Channel Select Filter, Variable Gain Amplifier and Phase Lock Loop. This Thesis is focused on the design flow and implementation of a front-end receiver. The building blocks include a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), two modified Gilbert cell mixers, and a divider with driving buffers. The Electro-Static-Discharge (ESD) protection circuit, package model, and transmission line effect have all been considered in the design process. We use the TSMC CMOS 0.25μm process technology. We stress on the solution of zero-IF architecture for IEEE 802.11b. The whole circuit used on-chip inductors and achieved a small size and low power design. The power supply is 2.7V. The simulation results of the proposed LNA are 25.4dB gain, 3.5dB noise figure, -18dBm IIP3, and -27dBm P1-dB at the high-gain mode. In the low-gain mode, the performances are 1.8dB gain, 13.8dB noise figure, 7.2dBm IIP3 and -5dBm P1-dB. The simulation results of the mixer are 6.4dB gain, 19.8dB noise figure, 2.8dBm IIP3 and -6.2dBm P1-dB. The divider with driving buffers provide -4dBm LO signal at 2.4GHz.ABSTRACT ………………………………………………………………………… i LIST OF FIGURES ……………………………………………………………… vi LIST OF TABLES …………………………………………………………………… ix CHAPTER 1.
