Baseband Analog Circuits for Software Defined Radio
by Vito Giannini, Jan Craninckx, and Andrea Baschirotto
This is the first book to describe most of the issues involved in the transition from a single standard to a Software Radio based wireless terminal. The book is both a technology tutorial for beginners as well as a starting point for technical professionals in the communication and IC design industry who are approaching the design of a Software Defined Radio. A complete overview of the actual state-of-art for reconfigurable transceivers is given in detail.
Charge-based CMOS Digital RF Transmitters
by Pedro Emiliano Paro Filho, Jan Craninckx, Piet Wambacq, and Mark Ingels
This book introduces a completely novel architecture that can relax the trade-off existing today between noise, power and area consumption in a very suitable solution for advanced wireless communication systems. Through the combination of charge-domain operation with incremental signaling, this architecture gives the best of both worlds, providing the reduced area and high portability of digital-intensive architectures with an improved out-of-band noise performance given by intrinsic noise filtering capabilities. Readers will be enabled to design higher performance radio front-ends that consume less power and area, especially with respect to the transmitter and power amplifier designs, considered by many the "battery killers" on most mobile devices.
Digital Subsampling Phase Lock Techniques for Frequency Synthesis and Polar Transmission
by Nereo Markulic, Kuba Raczkowski, Jan Craninckx, and Piet Wambacq
This book explains concepts behind fractional subsampling-based frequency synthesis that is re-shaping today's art in the field of low-noise LO generation. It covers advanced material, giving clear guidance for development of background-calibrated environments capable of spur-free synthesis and wideband phase modulation. It further expands the concepts into the field of subsampling polar transmission, where the newly developed architecture enables unprecedented spectral efficiency levels, unquestionably required by the upcoming generation of wireless standards.
