DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The increasing demand for extremely high-data-rate communications has urged researchers to develop new communication systems. Currently, wireless transmission with more than one Giga-bits-per-second (Gbps) data rates is becoming essential due to increased connectivity between different portable and smart devices. To realize Gbps data rates, millimeter-wave (MMW) bands around 60 GHz is attractive due to the availability of large bandwidth of 9 GHz. Recent research work in the Gbps data rates around 60 GHz band has focused on short-range indoor applications, such as uncompressed video transfer, high-speed file transfer between electronic devices, and communication to and from kiosk. Many of these applications are limited to 10 m or less, because of the huge free space path loss and oxygen absorption for 60 GHz band MMW signal. This book introduces new knowledge and novel circuit techniques to design low-power MMW circuits and systems. It also focuses on unlocking the potential applications of the 60 GHz band for high-speed outdoor applications. The innovative design application significantly improves and enables high-data-rate low-cost communication links between two access points seamlessly. The 60 GHz transceiver system-on-chip provides an alternative solution to upgrade existing networks without introducing any building renovation or external network laying works.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Mobile and wireless communications applications have a clear impact on improving the humanity wellbeing. From cell phones to wireless internet to home and office devices, most of the applications are converted from wired into wireless communication. Smart and advanced wireless communication environments represent the future technology and evolutionary development step in homes, hospitals, industrial, vehicular and transportation systems. A very appealing research area in these environments has been the wireless ad hoc, sensor and mesh networks. These networks rely on ultra low powered processing nodes that sense surrounding environment temperature, pressure, humidity, motion or chemical hazards, etc. Moreover, the radio frequency (RF) transceiver nodes of such networks require the design of transmitter and receiver equipped with high performance building blocks including antennas, power and low noise amplifiers, mixers and voltage controlled oscillators. Nowadays, the researchers are facing several challenges to design such building blocks while complying with ultra low power consumption, small area and high performance constraints. CMOS technology represents an excellent candidate to facilitate the integration of the whole transceiver on a single chip. However, several challenges have to be tackled while designing and using nanoscale CMOS technologies and require innovative idea from researchers and circuits designers. While major researchers and applications have been focusing on RF wireless communication, optical wireless communication based system has started to draw some attention from researchers for a terrestrial system as well as for aerial and satellite terminals. This renewed interested in optical wireless communications is driven by several advantages such as no licensing requirements policy, no RF radiation hazards, and no need to dig up roads besides its large bandwidth and low power consumption. This second part of the book, Mobile and Wireless Communications: Key Technologies and Future Applications, covers the recent development in ad hoc and sensor networks, the implementation of state of the art of wireless transceivers building blocks and recent development on optical wireless communication systems. We hope that this book will be useful for students, researchers and practitioners in their research studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The world of wireless communications is changing very rapidly since a few years. The introduction of digital data communication in combination with digital signal process ing has created the foundation for the development of many new wireless applications. High-quality digital wireless networks for voice communication with global and local coverage, like the GSM and DECT system, are only faint and early examples of the wide variety of wireless applications that will become available in the remainder of this decade. The new evolutions in wireless communications set new requirements for the trans ceivers (transmitter-receivers). Higher operating frequencies, a lower power consump tion and a very high degree of integration, are new specifications which ask for design approaches quite different from the classical RF design techniques. The integrata bility and power consumption reduction of the digital part will further improve with the continued downscaling of technologies. This is however completely different for the analog transceiver front-end, the part which performs the interfacing between the antenna and the digital signal processing. The analog front-end's integratability and power consumption are closely related to the physical limitations of the transceiver topology and not so much to the scaling of the used technology. Chapter 2 gives a detailed study of the level of integration in current transceiver realization and analyzes their limitations. In chapter 3 of this book the complex signal technique for the analysis and synthesis of multi-path receiver and transmitter topologies is introduced.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The last decade has witnessed a tremendous growth in wireless communications. Today's consumers demand wireless systems that are low-cost, power efficient, reliable and have a small form-factor. This quest for ubiquitous wireless connectivity and the trend toward highly integrated solutions have opened up a new wave of challenges and opportunities for RF (radio-frequency) integrated circuit design. Since it often dictates both battery life and form factor, the transmitter - and in particular the power amplifier (PA) - is often the most challenging block in this integrated radio design. The grand vision for wireless transmitters is to merge as many components as possible, if not all, into a single die in an inexpensive technology. There is therefore growing interest in utilizing CMOS technologies for power amplifiers (PAs). However, the low-supply voltage of nanoscale CMOS technology, the loss of on-chip passives and the conductive silicon substrate make a fully-integrated PA design challenging. This thesis focuses on the design of fully-integrated PAs for modern wireless communication systems at RF (2.4GHz) as well as 60GHz frequencies. Transformer based matching networks have been studied for PA design and new modeling methods proposed in this work. It has been shown that there is tremendous area benefit of using transformers at 60GHz, while still preserving high performance. A prototype of a transformer-coupled PA has been designed at 60GHz in 90nm CMOS technology. The transformer design and modeling proposed at 60GHz is equally valid at RF frequencies. However, the high output power and high linearity requirements at RF frequencies create further challenges. Conventional power amplifier architectures are showing limitations in terms of achievable efficiency and area reduction. In particular, such architectures are not benefiting much from technology scaling since the area is dominated by passive elements. In this thesis, we investigate a mixed-signal power amplifier architecture. By merging our work on transformer-coupled PAs with a digital signal processing framework, a truly scalable, efficient transmitter architecture can be created. Such a prototype has been designed and tested in 65nm CMOS technology.
