The design of a simple IF subsampling terminal for a gigabit wireless local area network is presented. All equalization is performed in the base station, allowing the terminal to be implemented using simplified hardware without any digital signal processing. System design of the WLAN terminal is discussed and simulation results are presented for an SOC implementation of the terminal receiver with realistic block specifications. The WLAN uses 16-QAM modulation with a data rate of 1.6Gbit/s, and has a 400MHz signal bandwidth modulated on a 10.4GHz carrier, downconverted to an intermediate frequency of 800MHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
