A broadband (0.8–5[Formula: see text]GHz) CMOS current-mode direct-conversion receiver has been integrated in a 0.18-[Formula: see text]m CMOS process. The proposed receiver front-end features a broadband active-balun low-noise transconductance amplifier (LNTA) driving a current-mode passive mixer terminated by a low-input-impedance transimpedance amplifier (TIA). The receiver chain has improved robustness to out-of-band interference, conversion gain and outstanding linearity. With the technique of noise and distortion cancellation which performs a better input impedance matching, we employ a broadband common-gate–common-source (CG–CS) LNTA and a current mirror to improve both gain and noise figure (NF) performance. Compared to the 50% duty-cycle switching stage, the 25% duty-cycle I–Q switching stage is implemented by using serial switches driven by 50% quadrature local oscillator (LO) signals separately, which improves the down-conversion gain by 3[Formula: see text]dB and lowers the noise figure. The transimpedance amplifier employs the [Formula: see text]-boosting technique to realize low input impedance and high transimpedance gain. The core circuit (RF and baseband signal path) consumes 26[Formula: see text]mW, and the prototype receiver achieves approximately 33–34.5-dB conversion gain, 8.1–9.35-dB NF and 7.5–9.8-dBm IIP3 from 0.8[Formula: see text]GHz to 5[Formula: see text]GHz.

Background: The original filter including grounded or virtual ground capacitors can be synthesized by using the NAM expansion. However, so far the filters including floating capacitor, such as Sallen-Key filter, have not been synthesized by means of the NAM expansion. This is a problem to be researched further. Methods: By using the adjoint network theory, the Sallen-Key filter including floating capacitor first is turned into a current-mode one, which includes a grounded capacitor and a virtual ground capacitor. Then the node admittance matrix, after derived, is extended by using NAM expansion. Results: At last, one VDTA Sallen-Key filter is received. It employs single compact VDTA and two grounded capacitors. Conclusion: A Butterworth VDTA second-order frequency filter based on Sallen-Key topology with fo = 100kHz, HLP = -HBP=1, is designed.

This paper presents a novel method to realize a current mode instrumentation amplifier (CMIA) through CDBA (Current difference Buffered Amplifier). It employs two CDBAs and two resistors to obtain desired functionality. Further, it does not require any resistor matching. The gain can be set according to the resistor values. It offers high differential gain and a bandwidth, which is independent of gain. The working of the circuit is verified through PSPICE simulations using CFOA IC based CDBA realization.

This paper describes a current-mode third-order quadrature oscillator based on current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CDTAs). Outputs of two current-mode sinusoids with90°phase difference are available in the quadrature oscillator circuit. The oscillation condition and oscillation frequency are orthogonal controllable. The proposed circuit employs only grounded capacitors and is ideal for integration. Simulation results are included to confirm the theoretical analysis.
