3.5.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

3.5.2.1 Receiver
The X-GOLD™215 dual-band receiver is based on a Direct Conversion Receiver (DCR) architecture. Input
impedance of the LNAs is optimized to achieve a matching without (external) high quality inductors. By use
of frequency dividers (by 2/4) the LO frequency is derived from the RF frequency synthesizer.
The receive path is fully differential to suppress the on-chip interferences and reduce DC-offsets. The analog
chain of the receiver contains two LNAs (low/high band), a quadrature mixer followed by an analog
baseband filter and 14-bit continuous-time delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter. The filtered and digitized
signal is fed into the digital signal processing chain, which provides decimation, DC offset removal and
programmable gain control.
