Session 2 Overview: RF TX/RX design techniques: RF subcommittee

Wireless communication at radio frequencies has made our world a smaller place by enabling us to share ideas and concerns regardless of our geographical location. Innovation in this field makes the technology more accessible and adds more functionality to the existing products. Papers in this session showcase some of the recent advances in RF transmitter and receiver building blocks. The first four lower the noise of receivers and increase their linearity. The next six papers present methods to increase the PAE and output power of integrated power amplifiers for the transmitter blocks.
