Key Details
Official Description
In radio communication system, the RFE of the transceiver typically handles the receive and transmit function portion, whereas the baseband signal processing is typically implemented with digital logic. The radio communication system sensitivity requirements and output power are primarily dependent on the performance of the frontend circuit blocks, specifically the low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) and power amplifiers (PAs). Most of the current radar and military communication systems utilize either ...
