Abstract :
Next generation wireless transmitters will rely on highly integrated silicon-based solutions to realize the cost and performance goals of the 4G market. This will require increased use of digital compensation techniques and innovative circuit approaches to maximize power and efficiency and minimize linearity degradation. This paper summarizes the circuit and system strategies being developed to meet these aggressive performance goals.
