Abstract
This paper presents a novel technique for suppressing in-band artifacts from out-of-band interference in widely-tunable RF receivers. It employs a multi-tap inductor-capacitor network to generate diversity in gain and phase between taps across the targeted frequency range. Using this network to feed a bank of identical receivers sharing LO, allows multiple kinds of interferer artifact to be suppressed. We considered spur-induced and phase-noise-induced artifacts. AC and transient simulations were performed, and a prototype was implemented in 45nm CMOS which confirmed validity of the approach for suppressing interferer artifacts, showing a maximum lowering in EVM and BER of 38% and 60%.
