2-6 Television Receiver

ISSCC 2009 / SESSION 6 / CELLULAR AND TUNER / 6 . 2 6 . 2 A SAW - Less Multiband WEDGE Receiver

With an ever-increasing number of frequency bands supported by cellular transceivers (TRX), front-end (FE) complexity increases due to a large number of external SAW filters. The challenge of removing inter-stage filters from multiband 3G receivers (RX) resides in the additional noise contribution due to limited transmitter (TX) leakage rejection at the RX input, intermodulation (IM) products a...

6-2 A 2-GHz Direct Sampling Delta-Sigma Tunable Receiver with 40-GHz Sampling Clock and On-chip PLL

This paper presents a 2-GHz tunable direct sampling receiver with 40-GHz sampling clock and on-chip PLL, fabricated in a production 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS process. The measured SFDR and SNDR are 59 dB and 59.84 dB, respectively, over a bandwidth of 60 MHz, and the effective number of bits (ENOB) equals 9.65. Compared to the case where an external low-noise 40-GHz clock was used, no SNDR degradation...

THE DIFFERENT TELEVISioN STANDARDS CONSIDERED FROM THE _POINT OF VIEW OF RECEIVER DESIGN

The diversity of European television standards has been referred to more than once in this Review. From. the point of view of th~se concerned with T. V. transmission, the most important consequence of this lack of uniformity is that it necessitates the use of "line converters" in any international exchange of programmes. The receiver designer, on the other hand, is concerned with the demand cre...

A Software 8 - VSB Receiver for ATSC Digital Television by Chia

This thesis presents the design and evaluation of a software 8-VSB receiver for ATSC digital television (DTV). Based on an unique software radio architecture, employing wideband digitization and a conventional workstation, this receiver uses novel software algorithms to achieve carrier and timing synchronization. Carrier and timing synchronization are typically accomplished with analog techniqu...
