Towards more digital content in wireless systems [From the EiC]

This issue of IEEE Design & Test of Computers is focused on the theme of digitally enhanced wireless systems. Guest Editors Haralampos Stratigopoulos and Alberto Valdes-Garcia have worked diligently to put together this special issue with a set of four selected articles, which were selected after peer review from a larger set of submitted papers. These articles include a survey and look-ahead to the future, direct-sampling receiver design, self-healing in mixed-signal SOCs, and self-healing transceiver architectures. This issue also includes five nontheme articles and, after a long hiatus, an Interview column featuring Lip-Bu Tan, the President and CEO of Cadence Design Systems. The Standards and The Road Ahead columns are also included.
