This is the first book on the subject of multi-standard wireless receivers. It covers both the analysis and design aspects of CMOS radio receivers, with primary focus on receivers for mobile terminals. The subject of multi-standard data converter design for base stations is also covered.
Wireless communications is witnessing tremendous growth with proliferation of different standards covering wide, local and personal area networks (WAN, LAN and PAN). The current trends calls for designs that allow:
- Smooth migration to future generations of wireless standards with higher data rates for multimedia applications;
- Convergence of wireless services allowing access to different standards from the same wireless device;
- Cost effective design solutions for intercontinental roaming.
This requires designs that work across multiple wireless standards, can easily be reused, achieve maximum hardware share at minimum power consumption levels particularly for mobile battery-operated devices. While serious efforts are currently underway to develop highly integrated solutions for digital basebands covering multiple standards, today's emerging multi-standard, multi-band wireless devices use stacked transceivers, i.e. separate transceivers for different standards. This represents a major bottleneck in attempting to achieve higher levels of integration and reduce the bill of material for a multi-standard wireless device. Development of radio architectures and mixed-signal design solutions that support multiple standards is therefore needed. This is on of the main objectives of this book.
