    摘要: A tunable bandpass low-noise amplifier (LNA). The LNA includes a plurality of N-path filters and a plurality of cascode amplifiers. The cascode amplifiers are configured to amplify an input signal. Each N-path filter is coupled to a different one of the plurality of cascode amplifiers. The plurality of N-path filters are driven by local oscillator (LO) signals having different frequencies, and output nodes of the plurality of cascode amplifiers are coupled in parallel. The frequencies of the LO signals may be symmetrically spaced around a desired frequency (f LO ). Each N-path filter may be coupled to a source of the common-gate device of the coupled cascode amplifier. The LO signals may be generated by a digital-to-time converter (DTC)-based frequency synthesizer. The frequencies of the LO signals supplied to the N-path filters may be adjusted to tune the bandwidth of the bandpass LNA.

    摘要: Various aspects provide a radiohead circuit and a communication device including the radiohead circuit. In an example, the radiohead circuit includes an antenna interface, a radio frequency front end configured to receive a channel scan information including an information related to a target communication channel to be scanned from a communication device processor, perform an energy scan for detecting an activity of the target communication channel based on the channel scan information, generate an activity information including an information as to whether there is the activity on the target communication channel, and provide the activity information to a communication interface; the communication interface configured to couple the processor to a radiohead circuit-external processor external to the radiohead circuit.
