Abstract

In certain aspects, a circuit comprises a low noise amplifier (LNA) configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal, a first mixer coupled to the low noise amplifier (LNA), and a first trans-impedance filter coupled to the first mixer. The first trans-impedance filter comprises a tunable inductor and capacitor (LC) network configured to be a portion of a doubly terminated LC ladder filter and a trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) coupled to the tunable inductor and capacitor (LC) network. The circuit further comprises a second mixer coupled to the low noise amplifier (LNA) and a second trans-impedance filter coupled to the second mixer.
