Abstract: An integrated receiver with channel selection and image rejection substantially implemented on a single CMOS integrated circuit is described. A receiver front end provides programmable attenuation and a programmable gain low noise amplifier. Frequency conversion circuitry advantageously uses LC filters integrated onto the substrate in conjunction with image reject mixers to provide sufficient image frequency rejection. Filter tuning and inductor Q compensation over temperature are performed on chip. The filters are tuned using local oscillators to tune a substitute filter, and frequency scaling during filter component values to those of the filter being tuned. In conjunction with filtering, frequency planning provides additional image rejection. The advantageous choice of local oscillator signal generation methods on chip is by PLL out of band local oscillation and by direct synthesis for in band local oscillator.

Abstract: A direct broadcast satellite sends subscribers signals received from an earth-station transmitter and typically having a 10 MHz bandwidth, 6 MHz for an analog video station and 4 MHz for up to 24 digital audio stations. When a subscriber selects one of the audio stations, an FM demodulator recovers the 10 MHz signal; a variable gain amplifier amplifies the received signal; and an A/D converter digitizes the amplified signal at (e.g.) 24.576 MHz. A digital synthesizer produces trigonometric functions (sine, cosine) at (e.g.) 24.576 MHz, and mixers downconvert the signals to baseband. The sampling frequency is then reduced to 256 KHz, twice the digital audio signal baud rate. In response to the 256 KHz signals, a first servo varies a VCO frequency to obtain a regulation by the A/D converter of the digitizing frequency at 24.576 MHz and another servo regulates the frequency of the trigonometric functions.
