Loopback BiST for RF Front-Ends in Digital Transceivers
This paper addresses a built-in self-test (BiST) for ICs digital transceivers. The focus is on testing the RF frontend while taking advantage of the on-chip DSP resources and DA-, AD converters. The loopback architecture is used to prevent the sensitive RF blocks from extra noise and external disturbances. The test aims at spot defects typical of RF CMOS ICs, where those faults are deemed the m...
متن کاملFast BER Test for Digital RF Transceivers
The paper presents a fast bit-error-rate (BER) test suitable for digital receivers or transceivers. The test technique makes use of an elevated BER which can be achieved by geometrical translation of the signal constellation points on the IQ plane. As the elevated BER requires much less bits (or symbols) to be measured, significant savings in the test time can be anticipated. Also a maximum sen...
متن کاملAutomated Synthesis Tools for Analog & Rf Ic Software Definable Transceivers
In this work, the state-of-the-art RF synthesis tools for non-linear RF and analog integrated circuits are discussed. Several commercial tools are compared and presented. For RF and non-linear analog circuits, due to the nonlinearity of the circuit, design optimization is not a trivial task. This paper will give an overview of the synthesis tools for RF and Analog IC, with emphasis on trade-off...

متن کاملBuilt-In Measurements in Low-Cost Digital-RF Transceivers
Digital RF solutions have been shown to be advantageous in various design aspects, such as accurate modeling, design reuse, and scaling when migrating to the next CMOS process node. Consequently, the majority of new low-cost and feature cell phones are now based on this approach. However, another equally important aspect of this approach to wireless transceiver SoC design, which is instrumental...
