dc.description.abstract | This paper presents a methodology to design a wideband radio frequency variable gain
amplifier (RF-VGA) in a low-cost SiGe BiCMOS 0.35 μm process. The circuit uses two Class A
amplifiers based on second-generation controlled current conveyors (CCCII). The main feature of
this circuit is the wideband input match along with a reduced NF (5.5–9.6 dB) and, to the authors’
knowledge, the lowest die footprint reported (62 × 44 μm2 area). The implementation of the RF-VGA
based on CCCII allows a wideband input match without the need of passive elements. Due to the
nature of the circuit, when the gain is increased, the power consumption is reduced. The architecture
is suitable for designing wideband, low-power, and low-noise amplifiers. The proposed design
achieves a tunable gain of 6.7–18 dB and a power consumption of 1.7 mA with a ±1.5 V DC supply.
At maximum gain, the proposed RF-VGA covers from DC up to 1 GHz and can find application in
software design radios (SDRs), the low frequency medical implant communication system (MICS) or
industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands. | es |
