Abstract
Power supply rejection in a single-ended receiver, through impedance balancing, is described. The single-ended receiver includes a first low noise amplifier and a second low noise amplifier. The single-ended receiver also includes a multi-port coupled transformer that outputs a differential signal. The multi-port coupled transformer includes a first primary coil that is coupled to an output of the first low noise amplifier and a second primary coil. The single-ended receiver also includes balancing impedances at the output of each of the low noise amplifiers. These impedances can be configured such that the on impedance of the first low noise amplifier equals the combined impedance of the off impedance of the second low noise amplifier and the balancing impedance. This balancing of impedances on the first and second primary coils results in power supply rejection of noise and spurious signals.
