Abstract

A noise cancellation structure comprises a trans-impedance stage couple to an output of a mixer of a receiver and a noise cancellation stage connected in parallel with the trans-impedance stage, wherein the noise cancellation stage comprises a first adjustable resistor and a second adjustable resistor connected in series with the first adjustable resistor, wherein the first adjustable resistor and the second adjustable resistor are configured such that the first adjustable resistor has a first resistance variation portion and the second adjustable resistor has a second resistance variation portion equal to the first resistance variation in an opposite direction and a magnitude of the first resistance variation is so selected that differential mode second-order noise and common mode second-order noise cancel each other.
