Abstract
So far, we have described some main system design ideas and technologies used in wireless mobile and 802.11 RF transceivers. We have also discussed radio frequency (RF) analog impairments that can affect system performance, and introduced various calibration techniques that can minimize analog impairments. In this section, we introduce several practical transceiver products that recently have been or currently are available in wireless markets. The purpose of this section is to provide readers with an overview about how the actual IC products perform and how the described technologies’ advantages are applied to these products. The products chosen are among the most popular and advanced technologies used in wireless RF transceivers.
