A multicarrier QAM modulator for WCDMA base-station with on-chip D

In this paper, design and implementation of a multicarrier quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulator for a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) base-station with a 14-bit on-chip D/A converter is described. The modulator is capable of modulating four carriers with four independent in...
