System modeling for 802.15.4 RF architectures

Abstract

This paper presents a simple system model for the 802.15.4 new standard dedicated to low-cost SOC-RF. Nonlinearities, receiver noise, channel imperfections, phase noise of the local oscillator (LO) are considered in this model. As we used complex envelope representation for analog part, the proposed model is efficient in terms of simulation time. Simulation results of a system described by this model are also presented.
