摘要
A 7-channel diversity receiver front-end based on current-summing for broadband free-space optical (FSO) MIMO communication is presented in this paper. This diversity receiver is designed for flip-chip bonding to a custom InGaAs metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector array. Each channel employs a low input-impedance current mirror (CM) as the input stage, which allows the implementation of direct current-summing for equal-gain combining (EGC). The summed-up current signal drives a second stage transimpedance amplifier (T1A) to generate the output voltage. Implemented in an 180 nm CMOS technology, a total gain of 58.5 dB, and -3dB bandwidth of 3.7 GHz for 0.25 pF photodiode capacitance is achieved. The power consumption for a single front-end amplifier circuit is 4.2 mW, and for the second stage TIA is 10.3mW with a single 1.8V supply.
