TRANSCEIVER ARCHITECTURE DESIGN

Abstract

The first section of this chapter compares the pluses and minuses of different receiver architectures. A transceiver includes two components: a receiver and a transmitter, but this chapter will only make comparisons to receiver, because the characteristic of transmitters are similar to receivers. The second section describes the reason of architecture selection. The third section gives a brief description on the selected transceiver architecture. The fourth section discusses the IF frequency consideration. The receiver link budget and design parameters will be mentioned in the fifth section of this chapter. Finally, the transmitter link budget design and design parameters will be presented in the last section.
