Analysis of impact on handset transmitter design of the high-speed data requirements in the IS-95-B CDMA wireless standard

摘要

As part of the evolution of the IS-95 CDMA wireless communications towards third-generation technology, high-speed data requirements were defined for both the uplink and downlink in the proposed IS-95-B revision. Although the requirements for the downlink are straightforward, the uplink requirements have considerably larger impact on the handset transmitter and base station receiver design. The impacts on the transmitter are examined, from baseband to RF frequencies. In particular, waveform quality and emissions are examined through high-level simulation to determine the tradeoffs involved implementation of a handset design which can support IS-95-B high speed data requirements for the uplink in the 1.9 GHz band.
