چکیده
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-offs in terms of noise and distortion.

متن کاملImplementation Challenges in Full-Duplex Radio Transceivers
This paper analyzes the linearity and resolution requirements of RF modules and AD converter in full-duplex radio transceivers. It is shown that the linearity of the transmit and receive chains can easily limit the device operation, thus motivating for efficient linear and nonlinear self-interference suppression in the overall receiver chain. Also AD converter requirements can become an impleme...
