The impending advent of GSM in the early 1990s triggered massiveinvestment that revolutionised the capability of DSP technology. Adecade later, the vastly increased processing requirements andpotential market of 3G has triggered a similar revolution, with ahost of start-up companies claiming revolutionary technologieshoping to challenge and displace incumbent suppliers.
This book, with contributions from today's major players andleading start-ups, comprehensively describes both the newapproaches and the responses of the incumbents, with detaileddescriptions of the design philosophy, architecture, technologymaturity and software support.
* Analysis of SDR baseband processing requirements of cellularhandsets and basestations
* 3G handset baseband - ASIC, DSP, parallel processing, ACM andcustomised programmable architectures
* 3G basestation baseband - DSP (including co-processors),FPGA-based approaches, reconfigurable and parallelarchitectures
* Architecture optimisation to match 3G air interface andapplication algorithms
* Evolution of existing DSP, ASIC & FPGA solutions
* Assessment of the architectural approaches and the implicationsof the trends.
An essential resource for the 3G product designer, who needs tounderstand immediate design options within a wider context offuture product roadmaps, the book will also benefit researchers andcommercial managers who need to understand this rapid evolution ofbaseband signal processing and its industry impact.
