  • Author: Kevin Walsh and Jackie Johnson

In this paper, Part 3 of our three-part series on 3G/4G multimode handsets, the authors will examine the fundamental challenges engineers face when designing front ends to be multi-band and multistandard across different modulations.

Key Concepts Discussed:

• Power amplifier background.

• Low Power Mode versus DC-DC converters: impact on battery current.

• Quadrature versus single-ended architectures.
