Charge-based Cmos Digital Rf Transmitters

This Book Introduces A Completely Novel Architecture That Can Relax The Trade-off Existing Today Between Noise, Power And Area Consumption In A Very Suitable Solution For Advanced Wireless Communication Systems. Through The Combination Of Charge-domain Operation With Incremental Signaling, This Architecture Gives The Best Of Both Worlds, Providing The Reduced Area And High Portability Of Digital-intensive Architectures With An Improved Out-of-band Noise Performance Given By Intrinsic Noise Filtering Capabilities. Readers Will Be Enabled To Design Higher Performance Radio Front-ends That Consume Less Power And Area, Especially With Respect To The Transmitter And Power Amplifier Designs, Considered By Many The Battery Killers On Most Mobile Devices.
