Advanced digital receiver principles and technologies for PCS

The synergy between digital radio communications and VLSI signal processing is revolutionizing the design of wireless terminals. Driving this synergy are certain fundamental paradigms in modern communication theory, digital signal processing, and VLSI design. The authors discuss the modern centers-of-gravity model, which they believe is emerging as the basis for the successful design and implementation of advanced digital communication systems. Central to this model are design principles that enable engineers to systematically derive digital receiver structures and explore algorithm and architecture trade-offs using sophisticated tools. Digital signal processing technology is critical in the implementation of these digital receiver structures efficiently. Finally, CAD tools for digital communications system design and design space exploration are shown to be of crucial importance in the efficient execution of these designs. >
