摘要:
The development in the field of RF and baseband (BB) integration in nanoscale CMOS technology for cellular systems over the last recent years has shown significant progress [1], [3], [4] The successful integration of the RF transceiver with digital baseband processor enables mobile phone manufacturer to build ultra-low cost phones for GSM/GPRS in CMOS technology [2]. This trend towards continuous system integration for mobile phones with an advanced feature set providing high data rate communication, multimedia and camera capabilities [4]. The support of various features requires a system solution including the power-management unit (PMU) with highly efficient DC-DC converters to reduce the overall power consumption. However, this imposes a major challenge for the integration of the RF due to crosstalk and thermal heating effects caused by the PMU and BB part.
