Baseband Signal Processing
Steffen Paul, Tzi‐Dar Chiueh · 2007
The computational demand of today’s wireless standards has reached a level that requires a high degree of CMOS integration. In this session, different aspects of such implementations are discussed at the block, architectural, and system level. Clock recovery as an important module in a design is discussed. Decoding at high data rates expands the application of wireless communications. In the emerging market of multi-standard terminals, new architectural proposals are an active area of investigation. Among such proposals is Network-on-Chip as an interconnect technology between processing elements. Base station signal processing for WCDMA/HSPA demands high integration and high performance while on the terminal side, ultra low-cost platforms attract market share. MIMO as a transmission technology enables high data rates and more efficient use of spectrum.
