| Meeting the Challenges of Next Generation Wireless System and RF Design |
|
Overview:
The complexity of next generation wireless standards necessitates a unified baseband and RF design methodology that takes into account the interaction and trade-offs between circuit and system implementations. The design of such systems requires that they perform within specified bounds in terms of numerous transmitter and receiver metrics such as adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR), error vector magnitude (EVM), receiver sensitivity, and bit-error-rate (BER) in various channel conditions and interference environments. A competitive design requires that the system meets the performance metrics while keeping the implementation complexity sufficiently low. This design approach will lead to lower cost, lower power consumption, and more competitive products. This seminar describes a system design framework that encompasses the design, evaluation and optimization of these systems and gives key insight into implementation issues in order to meet the conformance requirements. As an example, the seminar will investigate the implementation of the physical layer of a WCDMA/HSDPA system using a direct-down conversion architecture.
Estimated Length: 50 minutes of presentation
Who should attend:
This seminar is indispensable to RF and baseband system-on-chip (SoC) IC designers, component suppliers, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) companies, and infrastructure and network equipment providers for WiMAX, WCDMA, WLAN, and other new wireless communications standards. RF/analog engineers can evaluate the impairments of the RF chain through simulation using advanced behavioral models, and as the design is ready for implementation, with actual circuit blocks created in circuit-level design tools. Baseband system engineers can benefit from using a system-level design tool to construct bit-accurate TX and RX models and demodulation algorithms, and incorporate fixed-point design implementations.
