However, the proposed receiver and channel selection scheme still suffer from the mismatches picked up during RF-to-IF conversion. Therefore, a system called phase and amplitude mismatch cancellers is adopted to deal with the problem. Existing implementations neglected several critical behaviors of the cancellers, and provide image rejection ratios (IRR) ranging from 50dB to 65dB only. These behaviors include (i) arithmetic underflow, (ii) angular obscurity and (iii) spurious intermodulation products (IMD) produced by cancellers. We analyzed them and established several design rules, by which a far better IRR of at least 82.5dB was achieved. The system makes the proposed receiver and channel selection method feasible. / In traditional receivers involving intermediate frequency (IF), two different RF channels, Signal and Image, are converted to the same IF and overlap with each other. The Signal is always wanted with the Image eliminated, so each RF LO frequency can only select one RF channel. By digital low-IF, the IF-to-baseband conversion can be configured so that either channel can be selected, then each RF LO frequency can select two RF channels. This enhanced channel selection scheme can effectively reduce the number of LO frequency locations by half as well as the requirements of RF PLL frequency synthesizer. An existing approach makes use of configurable sampling scheme to achieve the same aim, but its use of analog sampling circuits results in phase and amplitude mismatches, from which the performance of image rejection suffers. Digital low-IF does not have this problem, since no mismatches are introduced to the signals after digitization. / The proposed digital low-IF Weaver receiver, together with the enhanced channel selection scheme and the phase and amplitude mismatch cancellers, are demonstrated to be feasible by a multi-band multi-mode receiver prototype supporting GSM900 and WCDMA. / The receiver architecture proposed in this thesis makes use of Weaver architecture with digital low-IF. Its flexibility allows for any operations to be performed on the digitized signals, as well as the enhanced channel selection scheme proposed in this thesis. / Chan Pak Kee. / "September 2007." / Adviser: Chiu Sing Choy. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 69-08, Section: B, page: 4924. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2007. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 152-162). / Electronic reproduction.
