This paper has been carried out the study of reconfigurable wide-band mixers that can do the frequency conversion and gain variation standards with low noise and high linearity used in multi-mode and multi-standard receivers. Over the last few years reconfigurability has become very popular in adopting technology to meet the wideband wireless communication specifications that is compatible with multi-standards like GPS (1.57 GHz), WLAN (2.4 GHz - 5.9 GHz), Bluetooth (2.402 – 2.483 GHz) and ZigBee (0.784 - 0.915 GHz) in low power consumption environment. The reconfigurability can be achieved between low and high band modes through power switching in RF frequency mixers. It can be achieved by flipping the input RF signal between gate and source terminal of input transistor and altering the trans-impedance stage output. With the concept of reconfigurable transistor pair with open and short circuit stubs, one can not only find the configurable gain with center frequencies 7.355, 8.65, 11.35 and 12.65 GHz but also with high power efficiency. Tow Thomas Bi-Quad Topology other than the traditional current commuting technique for the second order trans-impedance amplifier stage, works as a current mode filter over a tunable bandwidth. The active Gilbert mixers are used widely in most of communication system, due to its significance gain, perfect isolation, and linearity in response.

abstract A wide-band, gain-ranging amplifier is described that may be used for recording data with a dynamic range of 60 db in each of three different levels, 12 db apart, so that we achieve an “effective” dynamic ±160-v analog or 84-db digital, within a normal ±10-v analog system. As described, the ranging circuit reduces the gain of the amplifier by a factor of either 4 or 16 whenever the output signal approaches the maximum for the system. The wide-band response is achieved with low-noise operational amplifiers and second-order active filters. Signals with periods greater than 30 sec are amplified by 100 db and those with periods shorter than 1 sec are amplified by 70 db. The system works well in extending the useful output range of a Willmore Mark II seismometer with a natural period of 1.5 sec to over 40 sec under normal field operating conditions. When analog recording, the gain-range switching occurs when the input signal reaches ±8.1-v; when digital recording, the level is ±9.375 v. The period in a divide-by-4- or 16-state is preset by the experimentalist. The gain level is recorded on an extra channel which is also used to record absolute time.

This paper presents a low power Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) using 0.18µm CMOS technology for ultra wide band (UWB) applications. gm boosting common gate (CG) LNA is designed to improve the noise performance.  For the reduction of on chip area, active inductor is employed at the input side of the designed LNA for input impedance matching. The proposed UWB LNA is designed using Advanced Design System (ADS) at UWB frequency of 3.1-10.6 GHz. Simulation results show that the gain of 10.74+ 0.01 dB, noise figure is 4.855 dB, input return loss <-13 dB and 12.5 mW power consumption.
