The implementation of a RF transceiver for WRAN(Wireless Regional Area Network) system based on IEEE 802.22 standard using Cognitive Radio technology is presented in this paper. A CMOS RF transceiver IC for WRAN system operates in VHF/UHF(54~862MHz) broadband, and employs dual-path direct-conversion configuration and the in-band harmonic distortions are effectively suppressed by exploiting the dual-path direct conversion architecture. For 64QAM(3/4 coding rate) OFDM signal, an EVM of <-31.4dB(2.7%) has been achieved at 10dBm off-chip PA output power and the total chip area with pads is 12.95 mm2. The experimental results show that the proposed CMOS RF transceiver IC has perfect performance for WRAN system based on TDD(Time Division Duplex) mode.

This paper presents the experimental results of a low-power low-cost RF transceiver for the 915 MHz band IEEE 802.15.4b standard. Low power and low cost are achieved by optimizing the transceiver architecture and circuit design techniques. The proposed transceiver shares the analog baseband section for both receive and transmit modes to reduce the silicon area. The RF transceiver consumes 11.2 mA in receive mode and 22.5 mA in transmit mode under a supply voltage of 1.8 V, in which 5 mA of quadrature voltage controlled oscillator is included. The proposed transceiver is implemented in a 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process and occupies 10 $mm^2$ of silicon area.

This paper presents a compact integrated transceiver module for 2.4 GHz band applications using Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic(LTCC) technology. The implemented transceiver module is divided into an RF Front-End Module (FEM) part and a transceiver IC chip part. The RF FEM part except an SPDT switch and DC block capacitors is fully embedded in the LTCC substrate. The fabricated RF FEM has 8 pattern layers and it occupies less than $3.3\;mm{\times}5.2\;mm{\times}0.4\;mm$. The measured results of the implemented RF FEM are in good agreement with the simulated results. The transceiver IC chip part consists of signal line, power line and transceiver IC for 2.4 GHz band communication system. The fabricated transceiver module has 9 layers including three inner grounds and it occupies less than $12\;mm{\times}8.0\;mm{\times}1.1\;mm$. The implemented transceiver module provides an output power of 18.1 dBm and a sensitivity of -85 dBm.

This paper describes RF front-end transceiver chipset for the dual-mode operation of PCS-Korea and IMT-2000. The transceiver chipset has been implemented in a $0.25\mutextrm{m}$ single-poly five-metal CMOS technology. The receiver IC consists of a LNA and a down-mixer, and the transmitter IC integrates an up-mixer. Measurements show that the transceiver chipset covers the wide RF range from 1.8GHz for PCS-Korea to 2.1GHz for IMT-2000. The LNA has 2.8~3.1dB NF, 14~13dB gain and 5~4dBm IIP3. The down mixer has 15.5~16.0dB NF, 15~13dB power conversion gain and 2~0dBm IIP3. The up mixer has 0~2dB power conversion gain and 6~3dBm OIP3. With a single 3.0V power supply, the LNA, down-mixer, and up-mixer consume 6mA, 30mA, and 25mA, respectively.

RF MEMS is an exciting emerging technology that has great potential to develop TOC (Transceiver-on-Chip). Applications of the RF MEMS to wireless communications systems are presented. The ability of the RF MEMS technology to enhance the performance and to reduce the size of passive components, in particular, switches, inductors, and tunable capacitors, is addressed. A number of potential wireless system opportunities for the TOC are awaiting the maturation of the RF MEMS technology.

The implementation of a BTS(Base station Transceiver) for WLL system using W-CDMA(Wideband-Code Division Multiple Access) method is presented in this paper. It consists of three boards; receiver, transmitter and RF controller. Some RF parameters are considered and simulated by the RF simulation S/W using commercial and customized components specifications. The implemented transceiver of 5 MHz RF channel bandwidth satisfies the system requirements of a transceiver such as dynamic range, sensitivity in the receiver and spurious emission suppression in the transmitter. At the receiver, the experimental measurement showed 2.86 dB of NF and 60 dB above of dynamic range in AGC(Automatic Gain Control) locking. At the transmitter, the -49.46 dBc of spurious emission suppression is attained when the output power of the transmitter is 34.3 dBm. These results are good enough to meet to standard performance specifications.
