    Abstract: A circuit for a receiver with reconfigurable low-power or wideband operation may comprise one or more main signal paths each coupled to a first port and including a low-noise amplifier (LNA) configured to provide a radio frequency (RF) signal to a main mixer circuit. An auxiliary signal path may be coupled to a second port. The auxiliary signal path may include an auxiliary mixer configured to provide an on-chip matching input impedance that may match an impedance of the antenna. The first port may be coupled to an RF antenna through an off-chip matching circuit, when a low-power operation is desired. The first port may be coupled to the second port and to the RF antenna, when a wideband operation is desired.

    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) noise-cancelling receiver includes first transconductance cells configured to produce respective weighted current signals proportional to an input voltage signal. The RF receiver includes frequency conversion cells coupled to the first transconductance cells and configured to mix the weighted current signals with a plurality of non-overlapping local oscillator (LO) signals to produce downconverted current signals. The RF receiver includes transimpedance amplifiers coupled to the frequency conversion cells and configured to produce output voltage signals proportional to the downconverted current signals. The transimpedance amplifiers include second transconductance cells. Each of the first and second transconductance cells has an effective transconductance of a first magnitude for frequency components of the input voltage signal arising from a first harmonic and an effective transconductance of a second magnitude less than the first magnitude for frequency components of the input voltage signal arising from harmonics at integer multiples of the first harmonic.

    Abstract: A circuit for baseband harmonic rejection includes multiple transconductance cells coupled to one another at outputs of the transconductance cells and configured to receive down-converted signals that vary from one another to produce a weighted current signal proportional to a voltage corresponding to a respective down-converted signal. The circuit also includes a feedback impedance coupled between an input of one of the transconductance cells and the outputs of the transconductance cells. Each of the transconductance cells has an effective transconductance of a first magnitude for frequency components of the down-converted signal arising from a first harmonic and an effective transconductance of a second magnitude less than the first magnitude for frequency components of the down-converted signal arising from harmonics at integer multiples of the first harmonic.
