Springer Integrated Frequency Synthesis for Convergent Wireless Solutions (Analog Circuits and Signal Processing)

Product Description This book describes the design and implementation of the frequency synthesizer, with new design techniques for such a subsystem including usage modes of the wireless device, and its support for several leading-edge wireless standards. From the Back Cover This book describes the design and implementation of an electronic subsystem called the frequency synthesizer, which is a very important building block for any wireless transceiver. The discussion includes several new techniques for the design of such a subsystem which include the usage modes of the wireless device, including its support for several leading-edge wireless standards. This new perspective for designing such a demanding subsystem is based on the fact that optimizing the performance of a complete system is not always achieved by optimizing the performance of its building blocks separately.  This book provides “hands-on” examples of this sort of co-design of optimized subsystems, which can make the vision of an always-best-connected scenario a reality. Provides up-to-date design information regarding one of the most complex subsystems used in state-of-the-art wireless devices; Describes a wireless front-end solution designed to provide an always-best-connected solution, based on a wireless detector called Sniffer, that searches for an alternative connection while the main connection is running; Includes realistic implementations of subsystem co-design.
