Radio Design in Nanometer Technologies

Starting from the basics of analog filters and the poor transistor characteristics in nanometer CMOS 10 high-performance analog filters developed by the authors in 120 nm and 65 nm CMOS are described extensively. Among them are gm-C filters, current-mode filters, and active filters for system-on-chip realization for Bluetooth, WCDMA, UWB, DVB-H, and LTE applications. For the active filters several operational amplifier designs are described. The book, furthermore, contains a review of the newest state of research on low-voltage low-power analog filters. To cover the topic of the book comprehensively, linearization issues and measurement methods for the characterization of advanced analog filters are introduced in addition. Numerous elaborate illustra...

Fuzzy logic is a computational paradigm capable of modelling the own uncertainness of human beings. This wide-ranging book focuses in-depth on the VLSI CMOS implementation and application of programmable analogue Fuzzy Logic Controllers following a mixed-signal philosophy....

A presentation of the complete design background of a CDMA handset, including hardware and software, digital, analogue and RF. It delivers an integral understanding of where this essential piece of communications technology fits into the CDMA "big picture" and the basic parts that make it work. Such an approach is aimed to provide engineers with a complete understanding of how handset hardware and software design affect system performance....
