Abstract :
An overview on RF-front-end architectures and technologies for future reconfigurable mobile communication systems (4G-systems) is given. Favourable standard combinations are WCDMA and WLAN. RF front-end key components like low noise amplifiers, mixers, synthesizers and baseband variable gain amplifiers are treated, particularly with regard to reconfigurable systems.
