This session explores cutting-edge techniques for designing high-performance receiver front-ends, focusing on achieving superior sensitivity, linearity, and blocker rejection while minimizing power consumption. The presented papers delve into novel architectures and circuit techniques, including passive filtering, mixer-first topologies, active feedback, and capacitive stacking, pushing the boundaries of receiver performance across various frequency bands.
