Abstract
In this chapter, we address a number of topics surrounding system performance parameters. We begin by discussing transmitter’s maximum output power, modulation accuracy, and adjacent and alternate channel power. Then, on the receiver side, we discuss the topics of sensitivity, noise figure, selectivity, image rejection (IR), dynamic range, and spurious-free dynamic range. Next, we introduce a variety of system building blocks, in particular, their description and typical models for systems analysis. These include, transmission lines, amplifiers, mixers, filters, oscillators, and frequency multipliers.
