A 1.25mW 75dB SFDR continuous time filter below kT/C in-band noise 

A filter technique based on cross-connected cascoded devices gives in-band high 
pass noise shaping and passive pre-filtering out-of-band blockers. This results 
in both below kT/C in-band noise and out-of-band high IIP3. A 4th order low 
pass prototype in 90nm CMOS for WCDMA application has 32µV noise, integrated in 
the standard bandwidth, and +36dBm out-of band IIP3 which results in a 75dB 
SFDR with 1.25mW power consumption. Active die area is 0.5mm^2.

Biography:

Antonio Liscidini was born in Tirano, Italy, in 1977. He received the Laurea 
degree (summa cum laude) and PhD in electrical engineering from the University 
of Pavia, Pavia, Italy, in 2002 and 2006 respectively. He was a summer intern 
at National Semiconductors in 2003 (Santa Clara, CA) studying poly phase 
filters and CMOS LNA. Currently he is an Assistant Professor at the University 
of Pavia and his research interests are in the implementations of analog RF 
front-end in CMOS and BiCMOS technology, with particular focus on the analysis 
and design of LNAs for multistandard applications, ultra low power receivers 
and digital PLLs. In addition to his academic activities, he has been acting as 
a consultant for Marvell Semiconductors in the area of integrated circuit 
design. He received the /Best Student Paper Award at IEEE 2005 Symposium on 
VLSI Circuits. From Dec. 2007, he serves as Associate Editor of the IEEE 
Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs.
