Abstract

In Chapter 1 we focused on the blocks enclosed by dotted lines in Figure 1.1. They are the modulator, demodulator, and channel part of the communication system. We now redraw Figure 1.1 as Figure 9.1, with the transmitter back end enclosed by dotted lines.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Polyphase concept is also used in receiver [7], for image rejection

  2. 2.

    Also shown is a frequency component at ω2, which may come, for example, from LO feedthrough

  3. 3.

    In [18], more advanced model using Volterra series, like in chapter 4, 5 are used to model the PA. This includes capacitive effect, which further moves the zero crossing and aggravates the situation.
