There has been an increased demand for 3G cell phones that support multiple bands of operation and are backward compatible with the 2G/2.5G standard to provide coverage where 3G networks have not yet been fully deployed. The transceiver design for such a handset becomes complicated with the need for separate transceivers for 3G and 2G/2.5G or for multiple inter-stage receive / transmit SAW filters...
This paper describes a 2.5G cellular transceiver with standard DigRF interface, implemented in a low-cost 0.13mum CMOS process. This is the first CMOS single-chip, polar closed-loop transmitter, excluding the power amplifier (PA). This transmitter achieves an efficiency of 26% in EDGE mode by linearizing a saturated PA in a closed-loop feedback system. This is much higher than the typical 15-to-18%...
