Abstract
Techniques for providing a jammer-resistant noise-cancelling receiver front end with band-pass impedance matching and good power efficiency. In an aspect, the center frequency of the band-pass impedance matching advantageously tracks the local oscillator frequency. In an aspect, first and second receive signal paths are provided, with an R-C network coupled to the output of the second receive signal path. The resistance of the R-C network may be selected to provide band-pass impedance matching to the RF input signal. The current outputs of the first and second signal paths are combined using a trans-impedance amplifier (TIA). In an aspect, the TIA may be implemented using a dual input transconductor amplifier to further optimize the noise performance and power efficiency features of the disclosure.
