Abstract: Issues associated with the integration of transceiver vides parallel discussions on integration and multi-standard issues components on to a single silicon substrate are discussed. In related to the transmitter. This is followed in section IV with a brief particular, recently proposed receiver and transmitter architectures overview of the existing barriers which prevent low-power operation for high integration are examined on the promise of providing multi- of radio transceivers and the issues which must be addressed to allow standard capability. In addition, existing barriers to lower power extended battery life for future low-cost highly integrated radio sys- transceiver operation are examined as well as some proposed tems. directions for future integrated transceiver research and development.
