The Shannon limit for the capacity of these links is at least an order of magnitude higher than the data rate of the current state-of-the-art designs. Channel coding can be used to approach the theoretical Shannon limit. Although there are numerous capacity-approaching codes in the literature, the complexity of these codes prohibits their use in high-speed inter-chip applications. A low-complexity signaling scheme is proposed which can achieve 3-5 dB coding gain over uncoded 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). The receiver for this signaling scheme, along with a regular 4-PAM receiver, was designed and implemented in a 0.18 /spl mu/m standard digital CMOS technology.

The tuner system implements an additional up-conversion stage, which allows allocation of any TV channel at IF to the terrestrial TV frequency band (47-860 MHz). This way, applications of conventional tuner systems are expanded. Results based on standard tests have shown that the designed tuner is able to deliver the necessary performance in terms of selectivity, <-35 dB to adjacent channel protection ratio, SNR of 54 dB, in band spurious emissions lower than 60 dBc and /spl Delta/IMD/sub 3/ of 52.8 dB worst case. Finally it has been also demonstrated that with a careful design of the analog components (mixers and oscillators) the restrictive specifications of the TV tuner can be fulfilled by implementing the tuner in a low-cost standard technology (0.8 /spl mu/m SiGe). The total power consumption of the complete tuner is around 390 mA from a 5 V power supply.","PeriodicalId":294077,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 30th European Solid-State Circuits Conference","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124877846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
