Review on Receiver Architecture for Multi- Standard (wlan & Wimax)

One of the biggest challenges in wireless communication systems consists in achieving flexible dual-band receivers with maximum hardware share and minimum power consumption. The key for surpassing this challenge is the feasibility and performance evaluation for the different receiver topologies at system level stage. This task has its degree of complexity, by the fact that the receiver blocks can have different implementations leading to different performances. This paper presents the receiver architecture and the corresponding design supporting WLAN and WIMAX standards with small form factor, low cost, and low power consumption. To maximize the level of component share in the receiver, the corresponding standards is analyzed and applied to the proposed multi-standard receiver architecture.
