Talk Title: Dynamic Range Optimization For mm-Wave Analog Front Ends
Slides: 2-6.ppt
Abstract: High speed receivers rely on high dynamic range analog front ends to achieve low bit error rates. Dynamic range is optimized through the choice of technology, topology and component values that results in the simultaneous low noise and high linearity. This presentation explores a design procedure to maximize the dynamic range for mm-Wave analog front ends.
