A Programmable Receiver for Multi-Band Multi-Standard Applications

Nowadays wireless communication devices need a compact wireless receiver so that it can access all the available services at any time and at any location with minimum power consumption and compact area. The desire for covering all the service specifications tremendously increases the demand for multi-band/multi-standard wireless receivers. A reconfigurable receiver comes to give a hand. In this book a universal programmable multi-band multi-standard receiver using CMOS technology is proposed. The receiver aims to target the LTE specifications on the frequency range (700MHz-2.4GHz) as a case study to prove the concept of supporting multi-bands.
