Abstract :
The present work discusses the implications to the RF front-end for multi-standard multi-band cellular radios by analyzing noise and linearity specifications of the active circuits as well as isolation and insertion loss limits of the involved passive elements. Optimal adjustments of pertinent trade-offs and an outlook into future requirements and trends are presented.
