The Receiver Analysis and Design from a System Point of View

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. Due to this fact, Agilent Genesys software will be used to perform the system level design compliant with the 802.11g and 802.16e standards. The proposed architecture will be then exported to Ptolemy software, where it will be validated with more realistic signal sources, insuring a clean transition to the circuit level design.
