Ultra-low-power lowpass filter with a novel complementary push-pull DC offset calibration method applied to 5.8GHz Doppler radar

Abstract

This paper presents a lowpass filter for 5.8 GHz Doppler radar with an intermediate frequency signal hold function, which significantly reduces system power by interrupt mode operation. Additionally, it proposes a novel complementary push-pull DC offset calibration method to calibrate the DC voltage of the lowpass filter with the common mode voltage. Compared to traditional methods, the proposed scheme effectively stabilize the quiescent operating point of the receiver. The experimental results show that the power consumption of the proposed filter is 0.019 mW, calibrated DC voltage is 1.65 V, and residual DC voltage is less than 1 mV.
