A 2.4-GHz CMOS transceiver for Bluetooth

Abstract
A fully integrated CMOS transceiver tuned to 2.4 GHz consumes 46 mA in receive mode and 47 mA in transmit mode from a 2.7-V supply. It includes all the receive and transmit building blocks, such as frequency synthesizer, voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), power amplifier, and demodulator. The receiver uses a low-IF architecture for higher level of integration and lower power consumption. It achieves a sensitivity of -82 dBm at 0.1% BER, and a third-order input intercept point (IIP3) of -7 dBm. The direct-conversion transmitter delivers a GFSK modulated spectrum at a nominal output power of 4 dBm. The on-chip voltage controlled oscillator has a close-in phase-noise of -120 dBc/Hz at 3-MHz offset.
