Low-noise amplifier mixer with coupled inductors |
摘要 |
A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader configured to perform self-jammer cancellation (SJC) may include an SJC module coupled to a low-noise amplifier (LNA), which in turn may be coupled to a mixer via an LNA-mixer interface. The interface may be implemented with a horizontal matching circuit that includes four inductors magnetically and direct-current (DC) coupled to each other. In some embodiments, the inductors may each be implemented using a different segment of a single inductor. |

1. A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader integrated circuit (IC) receiver front-end circuit (RFE) comprising:
a low-noise amplifier (LNA); a mixer; and a horizontal matching circuit coupled from an output port of the LNA to an input port of the mixer, the matching circuit comprising a first inductor, a second inductor, and a third inductor, wherein: each inductor is magnetically coupled to each of the other inductors; and each inductor is direct-current (DC) coupled to each of the other inductors. |
