Hi,

At first you should find the main parameters of your receiver. The efficiency of a receiver are usually evaluated by two parameters, namely, selectivity
and sensitivity.

Then place the blocks according to the zero-if architecture and calculate the desired specs.

Finally simulate and correct your design by RF tools. ADS would be a good choice.

at present, I have the specifications, but i have not the specific component schmetic, such as LNA , mixer LPF et.al
in addition , I have the corresponding process lib too

how do i start?
 

Re: about receiver RFIC

Which foundry do you use? you can transfer your process library from the IC tool you are using (i.e. Cadence) to ADS if not present in ADS.
