ABSTRACT

In this presentation we offer architectural considerations of both receivers and transmitters for advanced mobile and wireless applications. An overview of RF standards along with system level analysis of various architectures are presented. The key radio requirements are derived and translated to circuit specifications, followed by a detailed discussion of different schemes and their pros and cons. General system level concerns for integrated tranceivers, particularly in CMOS, such as linearity, frequency planning, blockers, and spurious mixing are introduced and appropriate architecture level solutions are presented and discussed in detail.
