A Unified Design Methodology for Front-End RF/mmWave Receivers
In this work, a unified design methodology for front-end RF/mmWave receivers is presented, aiming to significantly accelerate the design procedure of the front-end RF blocks in complex RX/TX chain implementations. The proposed design methodology is based on optimization loops with well-defined cost functions so as to minimize the design iterations that may be encountered during specification tuning. As proof of concept, two essential RF blocks widely used in RF receivers, a low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), were designed using the proposed unified methodology with a 65 nm RF-CMOS processing node. Finally, the derived designs were compared to similar designs in the literature, proving that the proposed unified methodology is capable of synthesizing RF/mmWave LNAs and VCOs with industry-standard specifications within a significantly faster time frame.
