Current and future trends in the development of chip
sets for 3G and 4G mobile handhelds call for
achieving the highest performance/price ratio which
means the development of feature-rich multi-mode
wireless devices while maintaining the cost of adding
more features at a minimum. In this book, a novel
compact wireless radio transceiver architecture
reusing a baseband chain so as to significantly
reduce the die area is proposed. To realize a high
performance direct conversion receiver for multi-mode
wireless communications, certain limiting factors in
the design should be identified and...
