This book introduces a new intuitive design methodology for the optimal design path for next-generation software defined radio front-ends (SDRXs). The methodology described empowers designers to tackle the multi-standard environment in a parallel way rather than serially, providing a critical tool for any design methodology targeting 5G circuits and systems. Throughout the book, the SDRX design follows the key wireless standards of the moment, such as GSM, WCDMA, LTE, Bluetooth, and WLAN, since a receiver compatible with these standards is the most likely candidate for the first design iteration in a 5G deployment. The author explains the fundamental choice the designer has to make regarding the optimal channel selection: how much of the blockers and interferers will be filtered in the analog domain and how much will remain to be filtered in the digital domain. The system-level analysis the author provides is essential for understanding these choices.
