Abstract
Developments aimed at the software-defined-radio (SDR) concept for cellular applications received increasing attention due to necessity of multi-mode/multi-system capable terminals for next generation cellular communication systems. This paper describes a highly reconfigurable digital-front-end (DFE) enabling multi-mode capable RF receivers for cellular applications. Its main functionality includes sample-rate-conversion, channel filtering, dynamic range control, and signal conditioning for transmission via a digital interface from RFIC to baseband IC. The described partitioning shifts some of the functionality, traditionally located in the analog-front-end (channel filtering, gain control) to the digital-front-end. The technology shift towards RF-CMOS further favors this strongly digital receiver architecture
