This article presents the architecture of a reconfigurable radio receiver intended for multistandard applications. The receiver is based on RF sampling and discrete time analog signal processing. Anti-alias filtering, downconversion by bandpass sampling, channel selection filtering and sampling rate decimation are performed throughout the receiver chain. By adjusting the input sampling rate, all these operations can be tuned to different RF bands. This achieves full system reconfigurability and allows us to cover most of the existing communication standards.
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.
