Abstract
Present software-defined radios (SDR) employ front end circuits that contain multiple receivers and transmitters for each band of interest, which is inflexible, expensive and power inefficient. A programmable front end circuit is implemented on a CMOS device and is configurable to transmit and receive signals in a wide band of frequencies, thereby providing an adaptable transmitter and receiver operable with current and future wireless networking technologies.
