A One-Half Square Inch UMTS Base Station Receiver Module
- Author:

How much integration is possible while still meeting macrocell base station performance requirements? Process technology still dictates that certain key functions are made in specific processes: GaAs and SiGe are best for the RF realm, fine-line CMOS for high-speed ADCs, and high-Q filters cannot be implemented well in semiconductor materials. Yet the market demands more density. The following article presents a design analysis for two µModule® products: the LTM9004 implementing a direct conversion receiver, and the LTM9005 implementing an IF-sampling receiver.
