Our 2014 ISSCC paper is highlighted in the ISSCC press kit

February 01, 2014

Jin's ISSCC 2014 paper on a noise-canceling self-interference canceling (NC-SIC) receiver is highlighted in the ISSCC press kit. To quote the press kit, "New wireless standards need to support full-duplex wireless communication across multiple frequency bands. New solutions are needed to satisfy the wireless standard requirements in a small-form-factor, low-cost platform. Paper [20.6] describes a sophisticated low-noise active TX leakage cancellation technique that enables FDD/co-existence in software defined radios. In Paper [20.6], the 65nm CMOS chip can cancel up to +2dBm peak transmit leakage at the receiver input, enabling an effective IIP3 of +30dBm (enhancement of 18dB) with an associated increase in NF of < 0.5dB.
