A 65nm CMOS Analog Processor for Mobile Terminals Software Radio Front End
Résumé
The forth generation of mobile terminals is the place of multimedia convergence. Audio, video and data are told to be broadcast on the same device. Microelectronics industry is challenging to integrate all these applications. The Software Radio concept is one of the key to overcome technological bottleneck implied by mobile devices constraints. This paper presents the architecture and the design of a 65nm CMOS analog component in the RF receiving chain. Behavioural and post-layout simulations are depicted to validate the design of a RF analog processor.
