Nanometer CMOS sigma-delta modulators for software defined radio

This book presents innovative solutions for the implementation of Sigma-DeltaModulation (SDM) based Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC), required for the next generation of wireless hand-held terminals. These devices will be based onthe so-called multi-standard transceiver chipsets, integrated in nanometer CMOS technologies. One of the most challenging and critical parts in such transceivers is the analog-digital interface, because of the assorted signal bandwidths and dynamic ranges that can be required to handle the A/D conversion for several operation modes. This book describes new adaptive and reconfigurable SDM ADC topologies, circuit strategies and synthesis methods, specially suited for multi-standard wireless telecom systems and future Software-defined-radios(SDRs) integrated in nanoscale CMOS. It is a practical book, going from basicconcepts to the frontiers of SDM architectures and circuit implementations, which are explained in a didactical and systematic way. It gives a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art performance, challenges and practical solutions, providing the necessary insight to implement successful design, through an efficient design and synthesis methodology. Readers will learn a number of practical skills – from system-level design to experimental measurements and testing. Provides tutorial presentation of innovative SDM-based solutions for the next generation of wireless telecom systems. Presents a systematic design methodology, based on the combined use of optimization and behavioral simulation. Gives practical guidelines on the architecture selection, sizing, and electrical implementation of several SD ICs integrated in nanometer CMOS. Provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the basics, state-of-the-art performance,applications, challenges and solutions. INDICE: 1. Introduction. 2.
