A maximally-digital radio receiver front-end

Previous work [1,2] has demonstrated the feasibility of a drastic reduction of the analog circuits content in radio transmitters and synthesizers, in favour of more digital circuits. But for radio receivers, a major amount of analog circuitry is still required [1,3]. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of further reducing the analog circuit content of a radio receiver, while maintaining acceptable performance. The circuit offers the main advantages of a digital design: after adding one (small) macroblock to a digital standard-cell library, the whole receiver can be described in an RTL language and can be realised with a standard digital design methodology. Porting or scaling to another silicon technology becomes relatively easy.
