applications. Expensive scaled CMOS processes are readily used as a technology enabler to provide adequate performance. The high implementation cost of circuits in such processes is justified by the added functionality of the circuits, however it also drives the desire for low-area solutions in standard digital CMOS. For example, low-area inductor-less LNAs [1] take advantage of the high ft of scaled CMOS. Unfortunately, stringent phase noise requirements make inductors unavoidable in VCOs. This leads to solutions with area-demanding multipleinductor synthesizers [2] or spur-hazardous multiply-and-divide sections [4] to cover the wide frequency range required for multistandard receivers. In this work, we demonstrate a low-area multi-standard direct downconversion receiver front-end that
