TECHNICAL FEATURETECHNICAL FEATURE RF RECEIVER REQUIREMENTS FOR 3G W-CDMA MOBILE EQUIPMENT The first standardization phase for upcoming third-generation (3G) wireless communications is coming to an end. As is typical for standardization work, sufficient analog performance has been assumed and predominant emphasis has been placed on modulation and coding. However, recent revisions to the standardization document for the European wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) proposal,1 known as UTRA/FDD, enable a prediction of required performance for the RF front end. Such requirements are important when preparing commercial products for the new market. In this article, receiver requirements for the mobile unit are derived in terms recognizable by the RF designer. or RF designers who are experienced MHz (corresponding to the chip rate).
