This paper describes the RF performance issues of UE for W-CDMA system based on 3 GPP specifications. The parameters of transmitter and receiver are derived from the viewpoint of RF performance. In order for UE to achieve high performance, the transceiver performance requirements such as ACLR, EVM, Peak Code Domain Error, spectrum emission mask, frequency error stability and TX power control dynamic range for transmitter and reference sensitivity level, blocking characteristics, noise figure, ACS, AGC dynamic range for receiver are considered. On the basis of the required parameters, the UE RF transceiver is implemented and then the evaluation of RF performance is accomplished through practical test scenarios.

The implementation of base station transceiver for Wideband CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) PCS(Personal Communication Service) system using spread spectrum CDMA technology is presented in this paper. The receiver that requires wide dynamic range and high sensitivity and the transmitter that has good spurious emission supression were designed and implemented with 5 MHz RF channel bandwidth. This paper shows the some factors that should be considered and simulated using the RF simulation S/W with commercial and customized components. The implemented transceiver based on the simulation gave good results that satisfied the functional specifications of the transceiver.

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.

In this paper, we describe a 900MHz CMOS RF transceiver using an ISM band for ZigBee applications. The architecture of the designed rx front-end, which consists of a low noise amplifier, a down-mixer, a programmable gain amplifier and a band pass filter. And the tx front-end, which consists of a band pass filter, a programmable gain amplifier, an up-mixer and a drive amplifier. A low-if topology is adapted for transceiver architecture, and the total current consumption is reduced by using a low power topology. Entire transceiver is verified by means of post-layout simulation and is implemented in 0.18um RF CMOS technology. The fabricated chip demonstrate the measured results of -92dBm minimum rx input level and 0dBm maximum tx output level. Entire power consumption is 32mW(@1.8VDD). Die area is $2.3mm{\times}2.5mm$ including ESD protection diode pads.

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.

Smart Utility Network (SUN) is not only a core technology of intelligent green home networks but also a future technology which can be applicable to various areas instead of ZigBee. SUN should be compliment with IEEE 802.15.4g standard and can provide high link margin and stable communication data-rate for poor communication surrounding. This paper describes how to design the system simulation environment for the SUN RF transceiver, and also reports the required block-level specification for each circuit and various implementation impairments. Finally, the measured performances of the fabricated RF transceiver, which has utilized the system simulation results, completely satisfies the IEEE 802.15.4g SUN PHY standard.

This paper discusses the design of bio-implanted ultra-low-power MICS RF transceivers for wireless sensor networks. The 400 MHz MICS standard was considered for the implementation of the WBAN wireless sensor system, indirectly minimizing radio propagation losses in the human body and the inference with surrounding networks. This paper includes link budget, various transmission and reception architectures for a system design and ultra-low power transceiver circuit techniques for the implementation of RF transceivers that meet MICS standards.
