Linearization of receivers using envelope signal injection

This paper presents a new linearization method for receivers employing envelope signal injection. In this technique, the third-order intermodulation distortion (IM3), at the output of a mixer in IF band, is cancelled by injecting the envelope of the RF input signal to both the low noise amplifier (L...

description This paper presents a new linearization method for receivers employing envelope signal injection. In this technique, the third-order intermodulation distortion (IM3), at the output of a mixer in IF band, is cancelled by injecting the envelope of the RF input signal to both the low noise amplifier (LNA) and the mixer. By properly adjusting the amplitude and polarity of the injected envelope signal, up to 40-dB improvement of the IM3 and 11-dB improvement of the IM5 is obtained in a two tone test with 100-kHz separation at 1.9GHz. This method operates very well over a wide range of power up to the 1-dB compression point of the receiver. The noise performance of the receiver under this linearization technique is also investigated. The noise floor at the output of the receiver is increased by 0.8 dB only when the system is optimized for linearity.
