NB-IoT and GNSS All-In-One System-On-Chip Integrating RF Transceiver 23-dBm CMOS

Abstract

This article presents a fully integrated stand-alone narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) system-on-chip (SoC). It aims for an all-in-one system to integrate all necessary blocks such as an RF transceiver, a power management system (PMIP), and a clock management system and to save a bills-of-material (BOM) cost. An RF transceiver is integrated to support multi-band cellular IoT and GNSS with a CMOS RF power amplifier transmitting 23-dBm output power
