Abstract

Analog-to-Digital converters (ADC) and Digital-to-Analog converters (DAC) are required in receivers and in transmitters, respectively. The required bandwidth of DAC is determined by communication standards and required resolution is dependent on modulation scheme, like quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) or quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), etc. Since current-mode DAC can deal with most of communication standards and modulation schemes, it is readily applied for multi-standard radios. On the other hand, compared to DACs, the situation of ADC is more complicated, because there are more factors that affect the required performance of ADC, such as the unwanted signal, performance of pre-filter, ratio of thermal noise and quantization noise, demodulation method and so on. In this chapter, we will mainly study ADC for multi-standard radios.
