“Modeling of Radio Frequency Components”

Abstract:
Developing the future wireless communication systems not only requires to steadily increase the spectral efficiency and approaching the Shannon bound, but also to combat the technological limits set by analog RF front-ends. In this seminar, some issues on modeling, measuring, and digitally compensating radio frequency components such as analog-digital converters (ADCs), in-phase/quadrature (IQ) mixers, oscillators, and power amplifiers (PAs) are discussed. The presentation is far from a complete survey of the topic, but rather reflects the speaker’s own interest in the area.
