Abstract

The emergence of digital mobile broadband communication systems for voice, data, multimedia and positioning is coupled to the continuous progress of silicon CMOS-technology. Single chip integration with digital part while maintaining excellent RF performance, high integration density, low power consumption and low cost under mass production aspects are the current system design challenges. This paper focuses on design issues of classical RF-transceiver function blocks like LNAs, mixers and VCOs in context with multimode-/ multiband- SoC applications.
