A SC/HSI dual-mode baseband receiver with frequency-domain equalizer for IEEE 802.15.3c

In this paper, an 8X-parallelism digital baseband receiver is proposed for IEEE 802.15.3c application. The baseband receiver consists of all-digital synchronization, radix-16 FFT and LS-LMS equalizer modules. It supports SC and HSI dual-mode in IEEE 802.15.3c with single hardware for area efficiency. The chip is implemented with 65 nm 1P9M process. The fabricated area is 12.96 mm 2 with 3463 K gate counts. The post-layout verification shows the throughput rate under QPSK modulation achieves 3.52 Gb/s and 5.28 Gb/s for SC mode (220 MHz) and HSI mode (330 MHz), respectively.
