A COMPARISON OF ANALOG FRONT END ARCHITECTURESFOR DIGITAL RECEIVERSHolly Pekau Student Member, IEEE,University of CalgaryTRLabs e-mail:pekau@atips.caJames W. Haslett Fellow, IEEE,University of CalgaryTRLabse-mail: haslett@enel.ucalgary.caAbstractRadio receivers that perform analog to digital conversion closerto the antenna and do most of the signal processing in the digital domain are known as digital receivers. Digital receivers aredesirable because they can be more easilyre-con?gured for multista- dard operation, they can facilitate performance improvementsby using digital ?lters for signal processing, and they can potentia- lly realize savings in chip area, power consumption and cost. The de?nition of a digital receiver is general and there are several types of receiver architectures that fall into this category. Digitalreceiver architectures which have been proposed include direct RFNyquist sampling, RF bandpass sampling or sub-sampling, directIF Nyquist sampling, and IF bandpass sampling orsubsamp- ling.This paper compares these digital receiver architectures in various categories including susceptibility to aperture jitter and aperturedistortion, noise ?gure degradation due to aliasing, ease of anti-aliasing ?lter implementation, ease of ADC implemen- tation, linearity, power consumption, chip area, and re-con?gurability. System and circuit level simulations using a commercial RF simulator are performed to quantitatively compare the different digital receiver architectures in some of the aforementioned categories. Thefeasibility of using the proposed digital receiver architectures forvarious standards is then examined and a survey of published digital receiver architectures is presented.Keywords:Digital receiver,software radio, sub-sam1 IntroductionThe increasing demand for ?exible multi-standard, multi-bandradios increases and recent improvements in analog-to-digital converter technology have led to the development of software radios with digital receive
