Abstract
This paper proposes a new automatic programmable radio frequency (RF) system for a System-on-Chip (SoC) transceiver. We built a 5-GHz low noise amplifier (LNA) with an on-chip programmable RF system using 0.18-(m SiGe technology. This system is extremely useful for today’s RF IC devices in a complete RF transceiver environment. The programmable RF system helps it to provide DC output voltages, hence, making the compensation network automatic. The programmable RF system automatically adjusts performance of 5-GHz low noise amplifier with the processor in the SoC transceiver when the LNA goes out of the normal range of operation. The ACN compensates abnormal operation due to the unusual thermal variation or unusual process variation.
