Overview
Intermediate-frequency amplifier consists of 1 stage amplifier with dual (I/Q) differential inputs/outputs, automatic gain control system and output DC voltage offset compensation system based on a digital-to-analog converter. Output comparators are used to detect the overrunning of nominal output signal values. Upper operating frequency is 10 kHz.
The block is fabricated on iHP SiGe BiCMOS 0.25 um (SGB25V) technology.
