Abstract:
1. An integrated receiver comprising: a first signal processing path having an input, and an output for providing a first processed signal, and comprising a first tracking bandpass filter having a first integrated inductor, said first integrated inductor formed with windings in a first number of metal layers of the integrated receiver; a second signal processing path having an input, and an output for providing a second processed signal, and comprising a second tracking bandpass filter having a second integrated inductor, said second integrated inductor formed with windings in a second number of metal layers of the integrated receiver, said second number lower than said first number; and a controller for enabling one of said first and second signal processing paths corresponding to a selected channel of a radio frequency (RF) input signal to provide an output signal, wherein said controller, said first integrated inductor, and said second integrated inductor are formed on a single integrated circuit chip.
