| Module Title |
Integrated Transceiver Design |
| Providing Institution |
University of Southampton |
| Credits |
15 credits at level M |
| Length and delivery mode |
12 weeks distance learning and 1
week residential |
| Synopsis |
This module aims to bring together
the system, circuit and technology issues to be faced when realising
a complete wireless tranceiver function in silicon for mass market
use.
The course will start with a review of the system level issues,
discussing applications, modulation schemes and specifications.
Particular emphasis will be given to systems using digital modulation
where data recovery schemes are important.
Popular architectures will be compared, eg superhet vs direct conversion
in terms of the IC implementation issues and the specifications
of the building blocks required. The question of which technology
(principally BICMOS vs CMOS) is most suited will be discussed. The
course will then consider the transistor level design of typical
cells in an integrated rather than matched environment. This will
include LNA, mixer, IF and filtering, A/D interface, and VCO.
