Abstract

Have you ever wanted to know how modern digital communications systems work? Find out with this step-by-step guide to building a complete digital radio that includes every element of a typical, real-world communication system. Chapter by chapter, you will create a MATLAB realization of the various pieces of the system, exploring the key ideas along the way, as well as analyzing and assessing the performance of each component. Then, in the final chapters, you will discover how all the parts fit together and interact as you build the complete receiver. In addition to coverage of crucial issues, such as timing, carrier recovery and equalization, the text contains over 400 practical exercises, providing invaluable preparation for industry, where wireless communications and software radio are becoming increasingly important. A variety of extra resources are also provided online, including lecture slides and a solutions manual for instructors.

Abstract

This book describes the state-of-the-art in RF, analog, and mixed-signal circuit design for Software Defined Radio (SDR).  It synthesizes for analog/RF circuit designers the most important general design approaches to take advantage of the most recent CMOS technology, which can integrate millions of transistors, as well as several real examples from the most recent research results.  Coverage includes every circuit block for a SDR transceiver, including receiver, transmitter, local oscillator, analog baseband, ADC and DAC,  so that the readers can understand various applications of the digitally-assisted circuit techniques presented. Provides various approaches to realize a transceiver for a SDR using recent CMOS technology, in which fast and millions of transistors are available; Covers entire transceiver circuit blocks, including receiver and transmitter front-ends, local oscillators, analog baseband, ADCs and DACs; Offers analog/RF circuit designers a single-source point of entry to the state-of-the art in RF, analog, and mixed-signal circuit design for Software Defined Radio (SDR).  .

Abstract

Mobile users need a variety of multimedia services, in very diverse geographical environments. The growing number of communication options within and across wireless standards is accommodating the growing volume and heterogeneity in wireless demands. On the other hand, advancement in radio technologies opening much more flexibility, a.o. through Software Defined Radios, opens up the possibility to realize mobile devices featuring multi-mode options at low cost and interesting form factors. It is crucial to manage the new degrees of freedom opened up in radios and standards in a smart way, such that the required service is offered at satisfactory quality, as efficiently as possible. Efficiency in energy consumption is paramount for battery powered mobile terminals, as well as in a broader, ecological context. Moreover, efficient usage of the spectrum is a growing prerequisite for wireless systems, and coexistence of different standards puts overall throughput at risk. The management of flexibility risks entails complexity which hampers the desired system agility. This book describes a systematic approach to master this challenge. Case studies show that this approach enables smart operation of radios realizing impressive efficiency gains, without hampering Quality-of-Service. Provides a concise overview of software defined radio technologies, opportunistic spectrum access and wireless standards; introduces opportunities and challenges related to the smart operation of radios in this context. Proposes a systematic approach to master the complexity of the desired agility. Demonstrates the application and benefits of this approach in recent systems, e.g. in WiFi context, and in the context of coexistence of different systems. Shows the need and potential in future scenarios, where cognitive radios will operate in an open spectrum environment.

Abstract

This book presents innovative solutions for the implementation of Sigma-Delta Modulation (SDM) based Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC), required for the next generation of wireless hand-held terminals. These devices will be based on the so-called multistandard transceiver chipsets, integrated in nanometer CMOS technologies. One of the most challenging and critical parts in such transceivers is the analog-digital interface, because of the assorted signal bandwidths and dynamic ranges that can be required to handle the A/D conversion for several operation modes.   This book describes new adaptive and reconfigurable SDM ADC topologies, circuit strategies and synthesis methods, specially suited for multi-standard wireless telecom systems and future Software-defined-radios (SDRs) integrated in nanoscale CMOS. It is a practical book, going from basic concepts to the frontiers of SDM architectures and circuit implementations, which are explained in a didactical and systematic way. It gives a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art performance, challenges and practical solutions, providing the necessary insight to implement successful design, through an efficient design and synthesis methodology.  Readers will learn a number of practical skills – from system-level design to experimental measurements and testing. Provides tutorial presentation of innovative SDM-based solutions for the next generation of wireless telecom systems; Presents a systematic design methodology, based on the combined use of optimization and behavioral simulation; Gives practical guidelines on the architecture selection, sizing, and electrical implementation of several SD ICs integrated in nanometer CMOS; Provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the basics, state-of-the-art performance, applications, challenges and solutions.
