Abstract

A SiP tuner is designed for both terrestrial and cable reception of all analog and digital TV standards. It has 5dB of NF over the 48 to 862MHz frequency band. LC tracking filters allow for achieving 55dB weighted video SNR in loaded spectrum conditions. The active die, implemented in a 40GHz-f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t</sub> BiCMOS process, occupies 5.7mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and consumes 750mW.
