Abstract
A receiver including a mixer configured to generate (i) a first output and (ii) a second output, a first capacitance coupled to the first output, and a second capacitance coupled to the second output, A controller is configured to program (i) the first capacitance and (ii) the second capacitance to a first capacitance value in response to operating the receiver in a first mode, and program (i) the first capacitance and (ii) the second capacitance to a second capacitance value in response to operating the receiver in a second mode. The first capacitance value determines one or more of (i) linearity, (ii) gain, and (iii) noise figure of the receiver in the first mode. The second capacitance value determines one or more of (i) linearity, (ii) gain, and (iii) noise figure of the receiver in the second mode.
