SAW-less Transceiver for 4G/3G/2G Cellular Standards

چکیده
A single-chip multi-mode multi-band CMOS transceiver was designed and implemented for the 4G mobile platform. The transceiver supports both Long Term Evolution (LTE) frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD) operation modes. It also supports 3G Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) and 2G global system for mobile communication (GSM)/ enhanced general packet radio service (EGPRS) operation with the same signal paths. The hardware supports FDD bands 1–21, TDD bands 33–40, W-CDMA bands I–VI and VIII–XI, and EGPRS bands Cell850, EGSM, DCS and PCS. The receiver has 9 primary and 5 diversity input ports that do not require external low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) or interstage surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters. The automatic gain control system is fully autonomous. The transmitter has 8 output ports that do not require interstage SAW filters. An integrated transmit predistortion path reduces the impact of offset modulations. An integrated ARM7 core controls transceiver sequencing and enables a high-level application programming interface (API) that greatly reduces radio development time. Two industry standard digital interfaces provide compatibility to LTE basebands as well as 2G/3G basebands. It is fabricated in 90 nm CMOS.

4g Mobile Communication System
1. In telecommunications, 4G is the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a successor to the 3G and 2G families of standards. In 2008, the ITU-R organization specified the IMT-Advanced (International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced) requirements for 4G standards, setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 Mbit/s for high mobility communication (such as from train...

4G will not facilitate the design of cell phones. Compared to today's 3G, future 4G multistandard, multi-band cellular phones have to cover an increasing number of wireless standards. These standards include GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, 3GPP LTE/4G, WIMAX and even MIMO WIMAX AND MIMO LTE/4G at up to 25 frequency bands, and includes connectivity systems like WLAN and Bluetooth, and support navigation syste...

In this paper we give an overview of wireless mobiles, starting form first generation (1G) based on analogue system in 1980, while second generation (2G) which sets initial digital standards focuses on capacity and coverage. Emergence of GSM also belongs to 2G. After that third generation (3G) continues with the upgradation and adoption of new technologies such as UMTS-HSPA and CDMA200 EV-DO to...
متن کاملNext Generation Networks: Whence, Where, and Whither
The last decade witnessed many Next Generation Networks (NGN) with each having a short life of only few years. The SecondGeneration Network (2G), which is already out of vogue in most advanced countries, is still being deployed in third world countries. The ThirdGeneration (3G) Network was expected to solve all the problems encountered in the previous generations, but the persistent demand for ...
