“…In this way, the current coming from the mixer is passively filtered by the capacitance before entering in the TIA. This approach proposed in [11] wand [12] has two main drawbacks. The first one is to increase the input impedance of the TIA, and the second one is that the resulting transfer function is the cascade of two real poles, much less selective than the one obtained with a couple of complex conjugate poles.…”

“…Thanks to the technology scaling, multi-mode (2G/3G/4G) transceiver for cellular application [40] and combo-chip for WLAN/Bluetooth/GPS/FM [41] was commercialized to keep the device size small. However, RF front-end, such as PA, switches, filters and antennas are more difficult to scale.…”

This paper reviews recent progress in CMOS RF circuits with respect to technology scaling. It tunes out that RF transceivers almost ideally scale with technologies, even though some of RF circuits do not obey scaling law due to the noise, linearity, matching, and output power constraints. In order to overcome these constraints many design techniques including all digital approach, digital assisted approach, noise cancelling, non-linearity canceling, and RF filtering have been introduced. Also remaining challenges for the future is discussed.

“…The detection of higher order modulation EGPRS2 signals at acceptable SNR-levels requires high-end RF transceiver ICs with very low noise figure [2], and sophisticated channel equalization and demodulation algorithms in the digital baseband [3]. In legacy GSM modes with GMSK modulation the dramatic improvement of receiver sensitivity allows the operation at low SNR-levels, e.g., [2] with an input signal power level of -110 dBm which translates to an SNR of about 7 dB 1 .…”

“…In legacy GSM modes with GMSK modulation the dramatic improvement of receiver sensitivity allows the operation at low SNR-levels, e.g., [2] with an input signal power level of -110 dBm which translates to an SNR of about 7 dB 1 . In order to maintain the low-cost attribute of 2G-devices, low-complexity solutions that enable communication at such low SNR-levels are required for the fundamental problems in the digital baseband of GSM-based receivers.…”

“…Typical digitally-controlled crystal oscillators (DCXO) in modern MSs can suffer from frequency inaccuracies of 20 parts per million (ppm). Calibration after production improves the oscillator accuracy to 5-10 ppm, which results in a maximum GSM carrier frequency offset of f o = ±18 kHz 2 . Before a MS can establish a connection to the base-station (BTS), the frequency offset has to be estimated accurately (f o ≤ 0.1 ppm after synchronization [4]), and corrected by tuning the oscillator of the MS.…”

Abstract-Carrier frequency synchronization of a mobile station (MS) is a crucial task at the beginning of the cell selection procedure and during normal operation. Constant monitoring of the base-stations surrounding the MS requires robust synchronization concepts with low computational complexity. In the GSM standard, periodically transmitted frequency correction bursts (FB) provide the necessary information for synchronization. This paper presents a combined low-complexity approach for FB detection and carrier frequency estimation, which achieves high detection probability and frequency estimation accuracy. A thorough performance assessment on a GSM/EGPRS2 testbed proves the suitability of the corresponding FPGA hardware implementation.
