10. The IS-54 digital cellular telephone system uses a receive frequency
band of 869– 894 MHz, with a first IF frequency of 87 MHz and a
channel bandwidth of 30 kHz. What are the two possible ranges for the
LO frequency? If the upper LO frequency range is used, determine the
image frequency range. Does the image frequency fall within the receive
passband?
Solution:
By the two possible LO frequency ranges are
fLO = fRF ± fIF = (869 to 894) ± 87
=956 to 981 MHz (adding)
 or
=782 to 807 MHz. (subtracting)
Using the 956–981 MHz LO, as upper LO frequency range is to be
used
we find that the IF frequency as
fIF = fRF − fLO = (869 to 894) − (956 to 981) = −87 MHz
so the RF image frequency range is
fIM = fLO − fIF = (956 to 981) + 87 = 1043 to 1068 MHz, which is well

15.An Infineon BF1005 n-channel MOSFET transistor having Cgs = 2.1 pF and
gm = 24 mS is used in a 900 MHz low-noise amplifier with inductive source
degeneration, as shown in Figure

Deter
mine the source and gate inductors, and estimate the bandwidth of the amplifier.
Assume a source impedance of Z0 = 50 .
Solution
matching the input resistance to Z0 determines the source inductor as
Ls = Z0Cgs gm = (50)(2.1 × 10−12)/ 0.024 = 4.37 nH.
The net reactance at the input is j X = j ωLs − 1 ωCgs = − j59.5 , so the
required series inductance for matching is
Lg = −X ω = 59.5 /2π 900 × 106 = 10.5 nH.
we can estimate the Q as Q = ωLgCgs/ gm Ls = 1.2
so the bandwidth of the amplifier could be as high as 80%. This value is
probably higher than what would be obtained in practice, due to the
approximations that have been made in our analysis.
