A High-Performance Digital- Transceiver Design, Part 2

The first installment of this series gave an overview of a highperformance transceiver using an “almost all digital” approach.1 While still using analog filters and amplifiers, this approach translates directly between RF and digital domains. Design goals were presented that would meet or exceed the performance of commercially manufactured radios. Here in Part 2, we’ll look at the design details for the receive side of the radio. DSP will not be covered until a later installment, but we’ll look at the receive signal processor (RSP) hardware design here. Considerations for
