Wireless communication has become ubiquitous in everyday life. However, in the last two decades, much has changed in the RF transceiver design that provides the essential linkage between the antenna and baseband signal processing unit. As more and more wireless applications spring up in the commercial world and the data rate continues to climb at a fast trajectory, the RF transceiver design faces increasing challenges in many different areas. In this presentation, a brief review of the RF transceiver evolution will be introduced; followed by some discussions of transceiver design challenges in today's wireless communication system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
