Architectures for Baseband Signal Processing

This book presents advanced algorithms used in modern communications systems. It will help algorithm designers and chip designers meet challenges posed by the ongoing increase of algorithmic complexity and required data throughput for mobile applications.

This book addresses challenges faced by both the algorithm designer and the chip designer, who need to deal with the ongoing increase of algorithmic complexity and required data throughput for today's mobile applications. The focus is on implementation aspects and implementation constraints of individual components that are needed in transceivers for current standards, such as UMTS, LTE, WiMAX and DVB-S2. The application domain is the so called outer receiver, which comprises the channel coding, interleaving stages, modulator, and multiple antenna transmission. Throughout the book, the focus is on advanced algorithms that are actually in use
in modern communications systems. Their basic principles are always derived with a focus on the resulting communications and implementation performance. As a result, this book serves as a valuable reference for two, typically disparate audiences in communication systems and hardware design.

Enables algorithm designers and chip designers to meet challenges posed by the ongoing increase of algorithmic complexity and required data throughput for today's mobile applications Describes techniques for improved utilization of the bandwidth, as well as maximizing area and power profile to reduce fabrication costs Focuses on advanced algorithms that are actually in use in modern communications systems

Klappentext
This book addresses readers in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and
computer science with an interest in the field of communications engineering, architectures,
and microelectronic design. The focus is on implementation aspects and implementation constraints of individual components that are needed in transceivers for current standards, such as UMTS, LTE, WiMAX and DVB-S2. The application domain is the so called outer receiver, which comprises the channel coding, interleaving stages, modulator, and multiple antenna transmission. Throughout the book, the focus is on advanced algorithms that are actually in use
