Abstract

For successful implementation of a multi-standard receiver, a reconfigurable receiver architecture and a reconfigurable component design technique are essential. In this paper, an adaptable receiver architecture and a reconfigurable RF design technique using a switchable passive network are proposed. To verify the proposed design technique, the reconfigurable mixer and QVCO are designed using a flexible matching network and flexible LC tank, respectively. The measurement results of each component well prove the usefulness of the switchable passive network.
