Ultra-Low Power Small Size 5.8.GHz RF Transceiver Design for WiMAX/4G Applications

A state of the art ultra-low power small sized transceiver design has been proposed. This device consists of four blocks, including a frequency synthesizer (FS), a crystal oscillator (XO), transmitter and receiver attached with an antenna. It has been seen that wireless information technology and systems have played a vital role in the transformation of society in different aspects of life. Mobile wireless communications including WiMAX/4G have attracted researchers and developers. WiMAX/4G applications need a transceiver that can be used in the worst channel conditions, but with low power consumption and low input voltage at the 5.8 GHz frequency. The proposed transceiver operates on 1.2 V. The operating frequency, noise figure (NF) and receiver gain are 5.8 GHz, 4.0 dB and 90 dB respectively. It is a highly compatible transceiver with all the 4 G technologies. Implementation details and results have revealed that the proposed transceiver is much more efficient than the previously proposed transceivers in literature.
