Rf And Baseband Techniques for Software Defined Radio

This authoritative book gives you new perspective on the RF and analog
hardware and systems design aspects of software defined radio. It
delves into the architecture of transmitters and receivers that make
software-defined radio a reality. Covering both the practical aspects
and underpinnings of these architectures, the book details all key RF
and analog baseband components and sub-systems, from the converters
that interface with DSPs and ASICs through to the duplexer feeding the
antenna. It enables you to select the right technique for any
application by providing alternatives for implementing the main system
components.

The book places emphasis on broadband and multi-band
techniques, including broadband quadrature techniques, methods of
dealing with the diplexer issue in transceivers, high-dynamic range and
general coverage receiver techniques, and linearization applied to
LNAs, receiver front-ends, transmitters and PAs. This practical
resource looks at the cost factors of using particular techniques to
ensure that you are creating communications devices that can compete
successfully in the marketplace. Moreover, the book includes a survey
of current technology that guides you in identifying future trends, so
that current designs can be adapted to ever-changing technology and
market demands.
