A Single-Path Digital-IF Receiver Supporting Inter/Intra 5-CA with a Single Integer LO-PLL in 14nm CMOS FinFET

📋 论文概要

该论文提出了一种采用单路径数字中频架构的接收机，利用单个整数锁相环实现了5分量载波聚合（Inter/Intra 5-CA），解决了多载波接收机需要多个本振或复杂架构导致的功耗和面积问题。

💡 主要创新点

• 提出单路径数字中频架构，支持5个分量载波的聚合接收，避免了传统多路径方案的高复杂度。
• 采用单个整数LO-PLL取代多个PLL或分数PLL，降低了功耗和设计难度。

However, as an effort to overcome the insufficient frequency-band resource in FR1, telecommunication companies are continuously securing additional re-farming bands in FR1, and they are extending maximum throughput by applying Carrier Aggregation/E-UTRA NR Dual connectivity (CA/EN-DC) based on many fragment bands as shown in Fig. 27.5.1. For example, a major telecommunication company supports CA/EN-DC of the B1, B3, B5, B7 (1), B7 (2), and n78 bands, which require more than 20 RX paths considering the antenna diversity and 4×4 MIMO needed for maximum throughput.
