Transceiver and RF Front-end Circuit Chapter xx Transceiver and RF Front-end Circuit With the rapid development of wireless personal communication technology, radio technology has been applied in new ways. In wireless systems, baseband signals are usually converted to specific carrier frequencies for transmission. The reason for converting the signal frequency is usually to obtain sufficiently high transmission efficiency under the condition of reasonable antenna size. In the mobile communication systems widely used today, the carrier frequency is usually selected between 1-2GHz, which can ensure that the antenna size of the mobile system is between 25~150mm and that the transmission loss and antenna efficiency can have satisfactory performance. Recently, the carrier frequency of the wireless local area network (WLAN) system is selected between 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz, which further reduces the size of the antenna. In addition to the high operating frequency, the characteristics of mobile communication also put forward new requirements for RF circuits and transceiver circuits: the RF front-end circuit is required to have low power consumption, low operating voltage, high integration, and light weight. These indicators require new RF circuit design technology. This chapter introduces the relevant issues of transceiver design in RF systems, including the structural design of RF systems and the basic principles of RF circuit design. §xx.1 RF transceiver in communication system Transceiver modulator demodulator Transmitter Receiver Transceiver Receiver Transmitter demodulator modulator User information processing Wireless channel information processing User User-side circuit Back-end circuit Front-end circuit Front-end circuit Back-end circuit User-side circuit Figure xx.1 Basic structure of two-way communication system Figure xx.1 is a schematic diagram of a typical two-way communication system. Both the receiving path and the transmitting path in the system are composed of three parts: front-end circuit, back-end circuit and user-side circuit. The user-side circuit is used to generate or receive information. For example, in voice communication, the microphone is used to convert voice into electrical signals, which is the front-end circuit in the transmitting path; the speaker is used to convert the received electrical signal into voice, which is the front-end circuit in the receiving path. There are different user-side circuits for different applications, and the content of this book does not include user-side circuits. In the transmitting path, the back-end circuit is used to convert data or useful signals into signals suitable for transmission on the communication channel...
