Abstract
In this chapter, we take a look at RF systems from the system to the block level. The overview presents an introduction to the basic communication system, its various architectures and implementations. An architecture best suited for SoC integration is highlighted. Throughout the book, elements will be added to that baseline configuration to enable and demonstrate true built-in self-test and self-calibration capabilities.
