Abstract :
Modern high-speed silicon technologies in the submicron region enable today very efficient and cost effective digital communication systems. Highly integrated system-on-chip (SoC) solutions cover satisfying the ever-increasing demand for broadband communication from home. High data transfer rates with excellent quality are achieved through the use of Wi-Fi, DSL, Ethernet and optical transport. The presentation will deal with the most important design aspects and system trends that occur in the development of RF- and MS-front-end modules for SoC integration. New trends in wireless, as well as requirements for individual MS/RF blocks are considered with respect to high integration and cost reduction.
