SiGe W-CDMA transmitter for mobile terminal application.

This paper presents the design considerations and experimental results of a transmitter integrated circuit (IC) for wide-band code division multiple access (W-CDMA) mobile terminal application based on a superheterodyne architecture. Implemented by utilizing IBM's 0.5-μm SiGe BiCMOS technology,...
