Transmitter development for cellular integrated circuits

This article reviews transmitter topologies for radio transceivers with emphasis on cellular applications. In the first section it discusses different architectures and the challenges in practical implementations. Then it presents a transmitter as part of a fully integrated transceiver for GSM/GPRS/EDGE.
