Toward 5G Software Defined Radio Receiver Front-Ends

The textbook "Toward 5G Software Defined Radio Receiver Front-Ends" by Silvian Spiridon offers a comprehensive introduction to a novel design methodology for Software Defined Radio Front-Ends (SDRXs). This methodology enables designers to tackle the challenges of a multi-standard environment in parallel, which is particularly important for the development of 5G circuits and systems. The book covers essential wireless standards such as GSM, WCDMA, LTE, Bluetooth, and WLAN to ensure that the developed receivers are compatible with these standards. A central theme is the decision regarding the optimal channel selection, especially how much filtering is required in both the analog and digital domains. The systematic analysis described in the book allows readers to consider energy consumption and determine the necessary filtering in the receive path. This informed approach is a valuable tool for anyone involved in the development of 5G technologies.
