Abstract

Practically all modern communication systems, like digital video broadcasting (DVB), wireless local area networks (WLAN), and all mobile cellular standards currently in use, transmit information in digital form. The shift from analog transmission to digital transmission in practical applications and products was fueled by the rapid development of integration densities of digital circuits. Today’s so called very-large-scale integration(VLSI) processes allow millions (or even billions) of transistors to be integrated in one single chip.
