Design and Simulate RF Transceivers for Wireless Systems

Overview

Wireless systems are ubiquitous nowadays and their need to reduce the overall area and power imposes challenging requirements on RF front ends. For this reason, RF systems have become highly adaptive and are being digitally assisted.

Baseband signal processing algorithms and control logic are tightly coupled with RF Transceivers to compensate for RF impairments, to increase resilience to interfering signals, and to support multiple communication standards. Gaining an insight into such complex systems and evaluating design tradeoffs require system-level modeling and joint simulation of digital and RF subsystems.

In this talk, you will learn how MATLAB and Simulink can be used for modeling RF Transceivers, Performing RF budget analysis and Simulation of adaptive architectures like Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) and Hybrid Beamforming by integrating RF and Baseband together. Also, you will learn how to use multi-carrier Circuit Envelope simulation for coexistence and interferer analysis.
