{"product_id":"9781118438879","title":"RF Analog Impairments Modeling for Communication Systems Simulation: Application to OFDM-based Transceivers","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith the growing complexity of personal mobile communication systems demanding higher data-rates and high levels of integration using low-cost CMOS technology, overall system performance has become more sensitive to RF analog front-end impairments. Designing integrated transceivers requires a thorough understanding of the whole transceiver chain including RF analog front-end and digital baseband. Communication system engineers have to include RF analog imperfections in their simulation benches in order to study and quantify their impact on the system performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHere the author explores key RF analog impairments in a transceiver and demonstrates how to model their impact from a communication system design view-point. He discusses the design aspects of the front end of transceivers (both receivers and transmitters) and provides the reader with a way to optimize a complex mixed-signal platform by taking into account the characteristics of the RF\/analog front-end.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features of this book include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePractical examples illustrated by system simulation results based on WiFi and mobile WiMAX OFDM transceivers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn overview of the digital estimation and compensation of the RF analog impairments such as power amplifier distortion, quadrature imbalance, and carrier and sampling frequency offsets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn exposition of the challenges involved in the design of both RF analog circuits and DSP communication circuits in deep submicron CMOS technology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMATLAB® codes for RF analog impairments models  hosted on the companion website\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eUniquely the book bridges the gap between RFIC design specification needs and communication systems simulation, offering readers RF analog impairments modeling knowledge and a comprehensive approach to unifying theory and practice in system modelling. It is of great value to communication systems and DSP engineers and graduate students who design communication processing engines, RF\/analog systems and IC design engineers involved in the design of communication platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078175965424,"sku":"9781118438879","price":128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781118438879_p0.jpg?v=1769888289","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781118438879","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
