Abstract

Abstract:
Since the zero-IF architecture is attractive for its numerous advantages, the work
presented here has its focus on direct conversion (zero-IF) receiver front-end
architecture for the wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA), frequency
domain duplex (FDD) operation mode, where a full system-level design for the user
equipment (UE) is performed. According to the RF requirements for the FDD mode, the
used components used in the system are to be fetched and engineered. Performance
analysis and simulation of the over all systems are achieved. The final system can be
used in 3G mobile phones.
