Design issues in direct conversion receiver

Abstract

The wireless system is being rapidly proliferated in our life. The growing of capacity in wireless communication requires a new type of wireless communication method which does not affect current work on circuits and systems that can operate on gigahertz wide signals will undoubtedly be the wave of the future as pressures to supply multimedia services over wireless continue to build. To achieve the goal of single receiver which can act on various different standards the Direct Conversion Receiver (DCR) is the most suitable architecture. The DCR has been known for quite long years. There are number of design issues related to the implementation of DCR. This thesis presents the issues which are related to design of Direct Conversion along with the design issues related to LNA design.
