Abstract

This paper presents the design and analysis of LNA-Mixer for 2.45GHz RFID reader. The LNA is implemented by PCSNIM method for low power consumption. The Mixer is implemented by using the Gilbert-type configuration, current bleeding technique, and the resonating technique for the tail capacitance. The connection between the two designed circuits is made by active balun. This LNA-Mixer has about 35dB for -40dBm input RF power, LO power is 0dBm and RF frequency is 2.45 GHz and IIP3 is -4dBm. The layout of LNA-Mixer for one-chip design in a $0.18-{\mu}m$ TSMC process has 2.6mm ${\times}$ 1.3mm size.
