Discussion of high sensitivity radio receiver design and analog components such as the LNA, mixer, filter, data converter, synthesizer, and clock. Multi-carrier GSM is used as an example and RD-179, high IF radio receiver reference design, is presented. * Basestation market trends & needs * Radio receiver basics * Receiver architectures & trade-offs * High-IF receiver requirements * RD-179 - High-IF sub-sampling receiver subsystem reference design with ADC16DV160 16-bit 160 MSPS dual A/D converte
