A fully-integrated CMOS RFIC for Bluetooth applications

Abstract

A 4.5/spl times/4 mm/sup 2/ single-chip Bluetooth RF transceiver in a 0.35 /spl mu/m standard CMOS technology with minimal external components operates from a 3 V supply. The low-IF receiver achieves -77 dBm sensitivity for 0.1% BER and -17 dBm llP3. The direct up-conversion transmitter has 0 dBm nominal output power.
