DC Offset/noise cancelation techniques for variable

gain amplifier circuit

: Amit Kumar 2012JVL2918
Abstract: DC components offset/noises are always deep design concern for low frequency
operations generally in wireless communication. These noise are handled by implementing
various design changes. In this project paper we will be presenting different design techniques
and its advantages & disadvantages. At the end we will compare & present the suitable design
for DC offset cancellation for variable gain amplifier.
Proposed Plan: In this project we will be covering following tasks,
1. Study of various DC offset cancelation techniques.
2. Simulate the different methods and compare results. Design optimization and various
data collection.
3. Implementation of optimized DC offset cancellation circuit for variable gain amplifier.
Prior Art: Following table depicts comparison of various proven design along with data
captured,
