Gain-boosted n-path passive-mixer-first receiver with a single mixing step

The present invention discloses a gain-boosted n-path passive-mixer-first receiver. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a gain-boosted n-path passive-mixer-first receiver is provided. The receiver includes a number n of switch-capacitor (sc) sets, a resistor, and a transconductance amplifier. The sc sets connect in parallel, and the sc sets have a first node and a second node. The resistor connects to the first node. The transconductance amplifier connects to the resistor and the second node.

Radio-frequency-to-baseband function-reuse receiver with shared amplifiers for common-mode and differential-mode amplification

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a radio-frequency-to-baseband-function-reuse receiver with shared amplifiers for common-mode and differential-mode amplification is provided. The receiver includes two set networks connected in parallel. The set networks includes a first and a second input capacitors, a first and a second output capacitors, a first transconductance amplifier having an input terminal, a second transconductance amplifier having an input terminal, a first switch, and a second switch. The first and the second input capacitors connect to a first node. The first and the second output capacitors connect to a second node. The first transconductance amplifier connects between the first input capacitor and the first output capacitor. The second transconductance amplifier connects between the second input capacitor and the second output capacitor. The first switch connects between the input terminal of the first transconductance amplifier and the second node. The second switch connects between the input terminal of the second transconductance amplifier and the second node.
